Federal Judge Stops Minnesota Democrats’ Latest Attempt to Block Immigration Enforcement
By The Blog Source
U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez dismissed Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison's core legal arguments in a 30-page ruling, ruling that the court lacks jurisdiction to halt a federal law enforcement action.
On Saturday, a federal judge denied Minnesota Democrats' most recent attempt to impede immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities. The state and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul had requested that the Department of Homeland Security cease its ongoing Operation Metro Surge crackdown.
Menendez wrote that an injunction blocking the operation completely would go well beyond what courts are entitled to do, noting that the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals recently vacated a far narrower order that just regulated how immigration agents interacted with demonstrators.
She reasoned that a broad order blocking enforcement completely would be much more unlawful if the limited injunction was found to be an unlawful encroachment on federal jurisdiction.

The judge highlighted that federal officials maintain broad discretion to deploy law-enforcement resources to enforce lawfully passed immigration laws and that there is “no precedent” for courts to micromanage those decisions.
Menendez also rejected Ellison’s attempt to expand a Supreme Court case involving Shelby County and the Voting Rights Act into an “equal sovereignty” notion that would preclude the federal government from concentrating enforcement in select states or towns.

While admitting the point, she determined Ellison failed to explain how that concept applies to immigration enforcement choices made by the executive branch or why a court should second-guess where federal agents operate.
In the end, the judge’s finding left little opportunity for appeal on the essential question: federal immigration enforcement is not subject to state approval. With the request dismissed, Operation Metro Surge remains in operation, and DHS is free to proceed in Minnesota without judicial interference.
