YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Department of Justice asked a federal judge in Minnesota to allow the Trump administration's immigration operations to continue as tensions simmer over the tactics used by federal officers throughout the state.

The Jan. 19 filing was in response to a lawsuit filed last week by Minnesota and the Twin Cities, which sought to stop the deployment of immigration agents, saying the intervention violated the state's constitutional rights. U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez declined to issue an immediate restraining order expelling some 3,000 federal agents from Minnesota.

"Any injunction here would unduly interfere with federal immigration enforcement," lawyers for the Trump administration said in a court filing, adding that such relief would "effectively give Minnesota state and local officials veto power over federal immigration enforcement within the borders of Minnesota."
