Court weighs halt on Minnesota immigration crackdown after deadly shootings

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A federal judge will hear Monday whether to temporarily halt the Trump-era immigration crackdown in Minnesota following two fatal shootings by federal officers. Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul sue DHS to restore pre-surge conditions while allowing some enforcement to continue; the Justice Department says the lawsuit is legally frivolous. The outcome could have wider implications for federal immigration operations in other states, and Attorney General Keith Ellison plans to attend the hearing.
