No Stop To ‘Federal Invasion’ In Minneapolis Just Yet, Judge SaysOn Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez, a Biden appointee, said she would not yet issue a temporary restraining order to stop the deployment of what is now nearly 3,000 federal immigration agents to the state of Minnesota. Minnesota and Twin City officials sued Monday, asking the court to stop the Department of Homeland Security’s “federal invasion” of the state and city of Minneapolis in particular since the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent. All that has happened since agents were dispatched, the state argued, was escalating injuries to residents and the likelihood of more trouble to come.For now, Menendez asked lawyers for the U.S. government to explain why she shouldn't issue the temporary restraining order by Jan. 19. Lawyers for the state must reply by Jan. 22. A hearing will be scheduled after that time, the judge said. As a decision lingers, questions remain over whether Minnesota will be allowed to enter more evidence into the court record, including videos and witness testimony. Menendez acknowledged the case carries “significant ramifications” but her decision, she said, would be need to be informed with more arguments over the “to be frank, constitutional, high level” issues now raised between the authorities of the United States and the State of Minnesota. Brian Carter, special counsel for the Office of the Minnesota Attorney General, urged Menendez to rule swiftly. President Donald Trump vowed a "day of retribution" is coming, he highlighted. He noted how state officials are seeing reports of warrantless, forced entries into people's homes by heavily armed agents. Arrests of people legally allowed to film or follow agents while they are in public have occurred, he added."We found a flash grenade with the pin still in left in the middle of a residential neighborhood by ICE or Customs and Border Protection agents," Carter said. “What we need right now is a pause,” Carter said. “The temperature needs to be lowered and the public safety harm that is occurring and that plaintiffs are forced to deal with, needs to be stopped. Even if for a short period of time. “See All UpdatesClose
