Minnesota and Twin Cities Sue Trump Administration Over Immigration Operations

January 13, 2026 • Google News World

Minnesota and the Twin Cities have filed lawsuits against the Trump administration, alleging that the unprecedented immigration operations in the region are unconstitutional. The lawsuits claim that the actions taken by the administration are causing harm to local residents and businesses.

The lawsuits were filed on behalf of the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as Hennepin County, which includes the Twin Cities. They argue that the Trump administration’s immigration policies are being enforced in a manner that is not consistent with federal law or the Constitution.

In addition to the lawsuits, video footage has emerged showing an immigration arrest in Minneapolis. The incident occurred after a shooting in the city, and it has raised concerns about public safety and the impact of immigration enforcement on local communities.

The Trump administration has responded to the lawsuits by stating that they will continue to enforce immigration laws in accordance with federal regulations. However, officials have also acknowledged that there may be concerns about the impact of these policies on certain communities.

Separately, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has announced plans to deploy hundreds more federal agents to Minneapolis as part of an effort to address what she describes as “corruption” within the local immigration enforcement agency. The move is seen as a response to allegations that ICE agents are being used to target specific groups in the city.

The deployment of additional federal agents has raised concerns about the potential impact on public safety and the rights of local residents.
