The Application
Minnesota and its cities argue that Operation Metro Surge's deployment of ICE and Border Patrol agents lacked adequate coordination with state authorities and violated procedural requirements, while the federal government asserts exclusive immigration enforcement authority and the necessity of the enforcement surge.
The Conclusion
The case is active in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota before Judge Katherine M. Menendez; the outcome will turn on whether the court finds the federal enforcement action exceeded statutory limits or implicated constitutional federalism constraints.
