Minnesota and Illinois sue Trump as administration sends more agents to Minneapolis after ICE shooting

Around 1,000 additional US Customs and Border Protection agents are expected to deploy to Minneapolis, Minnesota, according to two federal law enforcement sources. Follow for live updates.

• Trump doubles down: Around 1,000 more US Customs and Border Protection agents are expected to deploy to Minneapolis, according to two federal law enforcement sources. This comes as tensions between federal and local law enforcement flared after the fatal, ICE-involved shooting last week of mother of three Renee Nicole Good sparked protests nationwide. • Locals sue: Democratic-led Minnesota, Minneapolis and St. Paul are suing the Trump administration, arguing the widespread immigration operation is “a federal invasion of the Twin Cities.” • Operation in Minneapolis area: President Donald Trump first ramped up immigration enforcement in the Minneapolis area in December to target undocumented Somali immigrants. Like similar, controversial operations in other states, it also has led to the arrests of immigrants from other nations, many without criminal records. While they may contain strong claims, the lawsuits filed by Illinois and Minnesota are “really political diatribes masquerading as lawsuits,” CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig said. “If you look at what both states are asking the courts to do, it’s to kick ICE out of those states and cities and to bar ICE from carrying on federal law enforcement in Illinois and Minnesota,” he told “CNN News Central” Tuesday morning. But “there is zero precedent for that,” Honig said. “There is no way a judge can say, ‘You, federal law enforcement agency: You are not allowed to execute federal law in a certain state or city.’”
