MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — "Minnesota and its two largest cities sued the Trump administration Monday to try to stop an immigration enforcement surge that led to the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by a federal officer and evoked outrage and protests across the country.
"The state, joined by #Minneapolis and #StPaul, said the Department of Homeland Security is violating the First Amendment and other constitutional protections. The lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order to halt the enforcement action or limit the operation.
" 'This is, in essence, a federal invasion of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, and it must stop,' state Attorney General #KeithEllison said at a news conference. 'These poorly trained, aggressive and armed agents of the federal state have terrorized Minnesota with widespread unlawful conduct.' "

Minnesota and the Twin Cities sue the federal government after fatal shooting in Minneapolis
The state of Minnesota and the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are suing the federal government to stop an enforcement surge by Immigration and Customs Enforcement following the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE officer. The state and cities filed a lawsuit in federal court on Monday, along with a request for a temporary restraining order to halt the enforcement action or limit the operation. The Department of Homeland Security says it’s surging more than 2,000 immigration officers into Minnesota, and that it has made more than 2,000 arrests in the city since the push began last month.
