In a swift blow to state authority, a federal judge has denied Minnesota’s emergency request to halt federal immigration operations within the Twin Cities. The ruling, issued early Wednesday morning, clears the way for the Trump Administration to continue its intensified enforcement, fueling further unrest in Minneapolis.
The Ruling: Supremacy Clause Wins U.S. District Judge Richard Sterling denied the state’s temporary restraining order, citing the "Supremacy Clause" of the Constitution. The court ruled that Minnesota officials do not have the legal standing to obstruct federal law enforcement agencies, regardless of the alleged civil rights concerns raised following the shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
Minneapolis Reacts: "We Will Not Comply" The ruling has been met with immediate backlash. Local advocacy groups have called for a "mass mobilization" in downtown Minneapolis tonight. "The courts may side with Washington, but the streets belong to the people," stated a spokesperson for the local civil rights coalition.
White House Response Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt hailed the decision as a victory for "law and order," warning that any local officials attempting to physically interfere with ICE agents could face federal charges. Rumors are circulating that the National Guard could be federalized if the state refuses to cooperate.
What’s Next? Minnesota’s Attorney General has vowed to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court immediately. However, with federal agents already on the ground, the next 24 hours remain critical.
