Trump Administration Seeks to Continue Minnesota Immigration Enforcement Amid Legal Challenges

US President Donald Trump urged the Department of Homeland Security and ICE to publicly disclose details of criminals detained during an immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, linking the crackdown to crime reduction. His administration faces legal challenges from Minnesota and local cities, which filed a lawsuit claiming the crackdown is unconstitutional. The Department of Justice asked a federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that federal immigration enforcement supersedes state authority and is necessary for public safety amid protests and threats against agents.
