The Hill - A federal judge on Saturday rejected an effort by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) to block the surge of immigration resources the Trump administration has sent to the state.
In a 30-page decision, U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez ruled that Ellison is unlikely to succeed in claims that the surge violates the 10th Amendment, which protects states’ rights against federal infringement.
“Plaintiffs ask the Court to extend existing precedent to a new context where its application is less direct — namely, to an unprecedented deployment of armed federal immigration officers to aggressively enforce immigration statutes,” Menendez wrote.
“None of the cases on which they rely have even come close,” the judge added.
Menendez is an appointee of former President Biden.
