The authorities of Minnesota sued the US government

ArmInfo. The authorities of Minnesota filed a lawsuit against the federal government of the USA due to the deployment of immigration and customs control forces (ICE) in the state. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said that the presence of ICE personnel is illegal and should end.

"What we see now is not a normal immigration compulsion. We are not asking ICE not to do what ICE usually does. We ask the government to end the unconstitutional rule that invades our streets every day," Mr. Ellison said (quoted by NBC). He clarified that the lawsuit was filed in the district court of the state. The Ministry of Internal Security of the USA and ICE are the defendants, and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are the plaintiffs.

On January 9, protests took place in Minneapolis against the strengthening of control over the observance of immigration legislation, writes the newspaper The Minnesota Star Tribune. Volneniya provoked the murder of 37-year-old Rene Good. She was shot by one of the immigration control agents during the search operation for illegal migrants. The mayor of the city, Jacob Frey, demanded from ICE to "get away from the devil".
