Minnesota files lawsuit over 'ICE shootings'... 'Federal invasion must stop'
The state of Minnesota, where a woman in her 30s was recently shot and killed by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, has filed a lawsuit against the federal government.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced today (the 12th) that the state and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul have filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies.

In the complaint, Minnesota asks the court to declare the so-called "Metro Surge" operation, which deployed DHS agents on a large scale in the
state, unconstitutional and illegal, and to order the operation to be halted. The plaintiffs claim that DHS is deploying thousands of agents from ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to the two cities in a military-style crackdown, leading to illegal and dangerous stops and arrests. Attorney General Ellison argued that poorly trained, armed, and masked federal agents are harming Minnesotans, and that this "federal invasion" must stop, and that he is suing DHS to end it.

They criticized Operation Metro Surge as being consistent with the Trump administration's pattern of targeting Democratic local governments, including Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., and specifically accused the Trump administration of illegally cutting federal funding for programs that Minnesotans rely on.
The Associated Press reported that federal agents clashed with protesters in Minneapolis that day, firing tear gas to disperse a crowd that had gathered after a vehicle was rear-ended.
On the 7th, in Minneapolis, Renee Nicole Good (37), an American citizen, was shot and killed in her sport utility vehicle (SUV) by an ICE agent conducting a raid.
Following Good's shooting, the Trump administration claimed the agent's actions were self-defense, calling Good a "terrorist" who threatened the agent with his vehicle. However, Minnesota officials, including Democratic Governor Tim Walz, have refuted the federal government's explanation, citing footage from the scene and other evidence.
Meanwhile, Illinois also asked the court to prohibit federal agents from using tear gas, trespassing on private property, and obscuring license plates.
