Minnesota sues Trump administration over immigration operations

The state of Minnesota has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration regarding its immigration operations, which the state claims have resulted in “a federal invasion of the Twin Cities.” The lawsuit was submitted on Monday, January 12, 2026.

The legal action highlights concerns over the federal government"s approach to immigration enforcement in the region. Minnesota officials argue that the extensive operations have disrupted local communities and created an atmosphere of fear among residents.

This lawsuit follows similar situations in other states where local governments have challenged federal immigration policies. For further context, previous reports have detailed the ongoing tensions between state and federal authorities over immigration enforcement practices.

The outcome of this lawsuit could have significant implications for immigration policy and enforcement in Minnesota and beyond.
