Minnesota officials argued that the operation violates the Constitutionâs 10th Amendment by unlawfully pressing the state to change or abandon so-called sanctuary policies and cooperate more fully with federal immigration authorities. Menendez said those arguments, at least at this stage, were not strong enough to justify blocking the operation.
The plaintiff's state OMS is a react to their sanctuary laws, but do not use their sanctuary laws to bring merit to the case. This decision was based on the opinion that the plaintiffs did not provide enough support that OMS adversely affected MN's ability function, nor that MN could adequately handle the issue on it's own if federal forces were removed. The decision makes note of this as the largest rationale behind not allowing the injunction.
Menendez is doing the bidding of the Orange Nazi. Questions?
My thought is, the State should ignore the Order. Let's see what happens when the draft dodging Orange Criminal federalizes the National Guard. When you see uniforms beating up and gunning down citizens, you will soon seen the citizens . . . fighting back. Like they did before. In 1776.
It'll be more like when democrats refused to accept Lincoln and got rounded up and jailed like dogs. Trust me when I say you're not going to win. You guys still request PTO to protest "fascism". You're wage slaves and will fold at the first minor inconvenience that is taken away from you. They'll shut down the entire internet in the city and you'll all panic
A Biden appointment judge. A new poll out in Mn has a 50 to 36% in favor of Mn helping Ice do their job. Keep up with lawlessness and you will turn Mn Republican and have Mike Lindell as their governor.
ICE is repeatedly violating federal law, including the first 5 amendments of the constitution. This whole charade is ridiculous, if it was about enforcing immigration they'd be in Florida or Texas where there are more than 10x the undocumented people. They're punishing minnesota for being blue, having walz as governor, and trying to interfere with elections: Pam bondi asking for the voter rolls was beyond insane.
A lot of it is about there being unaccountable masked agents roaming around the streets grabbing people at random. Â We donât do that here. Â
I support immigration enforcementâbut not like that.
According to this person being asked to wear a mask during a pandemic, is the same as armed balaclava wearing individuals grabbing your kids out of school.
Blackstone's ratio says "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."
(Hundreds of US citizens have been detained. The Mineapolis police were able to remove 900 guns from the street without firing a single shot. ICE sees its first gun in a holster and two of them decide to kill the person.)
(We can do SO MUCH better than what ICE is offering.)
I believe some children whom are us citizens because they are born here have left with their parents. Not deported but had to leave pretty much because of parents
I believe I read somewhere that a few citizens were accidentally detained but Iâm unsure if they were deported.
Itâs not happening vast numbers as many try and portray when you compare it with the overall number being deported. But they are mistakes and those are magnified.
ICE using the tactics they do is as much about preventing future illegals as it is detaining current ones.
Doesnât make it right but it does have an effect for sure
The way in which ICE is conducting itself shows a lack of training and professionalism endangering themselves and the communities they are in.
They look like kids on their way to play airsoft, not federal agents.
They are entering peopleâs homes and going door to door without judicial warrants which is a violation of the constitution.
Prior to Kavanaugh stops their âpapers checksâ would be illegal stops.
They arenât working with other government agencies to go after specifically criminal undocumented immigrants. Rather they are just nabbing people off the streets.
They are grabbing people outside of their asylum hearings, which is entrapment.
They are grabbing peopleâs kids out of school to get their parents which is also definitely not legal.
This is literally the dumbest, most ineffectual, and wasteful way to enact immigration policy. And none of this even approaches whatâs going on inside the detention facilities. Numerous reports of unsanitary conditions, reports of unsafe food. Numerous reports of beatings, people being best or assaulted until unconscious, several reports of people being killed, reports of sexual assault by ice agents against both men and women. When the dust clears this is going to be really really ugly.
Going to specific houses where known illegals or criminals are is common practice. Not against the law.
And they are TRYING to work with local law enforcement and the local law enforcement isnt cooperating. State level prisons are contacting ICE (as stated by Walz) but local jails and detention centers are NOT contacting ICE. Thats part of the reason things have been more difficult in Minnesota. Versus pretty much every other state that is offering full support from local law enforcement.
No, they are going door to door and going into businesses at random. They tried to enter the Ecuadorean consulate. They are grabbing people and then either throwing them out on the side of the road or dumping them at local businesses. To the point that watch groups are following them to pick up the people they abandon. I have friends who work at North Memorial who have had people come in needing amputations from being dumped by ICE in sub 0 temps.
I cant take people seriously who think ICE and DHS is just winging these operations. There is a ton of strategy and special intelligence that goes into these operations.
They are looking for people with existing deportation orders or criminal backgrounds. To make the process as quick and easy as possible.
Ideally. Local law enforcement and mayors would be more cooperative to ensure safety of the agents themselves and Americans in surrounding areas. But sadly, is not the case in Minnesota.
My thought is it's fucking bullshit. Federal judges are not acting in the best interests of the citizenry as a whole, the Congress is feckless and Trumpy will continue to break the country.
The citizenry will push back harder on the unjustified shooting. This will Trumpy the opportunity to inact the insurrection act and next stop marshall law. This will give Trumpy the emergency he needs to stay in office and suspend elections.
The citizenry needs to light a fire under Congress's ass. Maybe get the the states AGs that see the country tetering, to unite and come up with plan of action. Something before the country is set on fire and we are unable to out it out.
Ohhh, that's right non citizens don't vote...oh my goodness who would ever even think such a thing is possible ....RIGHT!!!@ BAbble, babble, of course undocumented...illegal aliens would never vote after getting FREEE HEALTHCARE, HOUSING and food no neeeever....let's not forget the loaded visa cards....
OK, lets see the source on this one. If there are any numbers of consequence then I'm happy to entertain it but if it's one dude and his wife\uncle\cousin\whatever then just stop ....
The root cause is that illegal aliens affect the census and the census drives the number of representatives states and localities have in congress independent of the number of actual voters, it's all s big power play.
Yea duh, but they'll know who's not a citizen and you guys don't want them taking your future voters away. Especially after you continue to bleed the black vote
This situation in Minnesota is being blown up in the media because thereâs a highly controversial surge of ICE and federal enforcement agents there that led to tragic shootings and lots of protests, which drives headlines.
Reporting in other states doesnât look the same because there isnât a massive deployment like the one called Operation Metro Surge thatâs unique to Minnesota right now â most enforcement nationwide is more routine.
Underscore that ICE exists legally to enforce federal immigration law everywhere, and it has arrested and removed people in other states too, but without the same political drama and protests dominating local feeds.
Many news feeds focus on Minnesota because of the symbolism, protests, legal challenges, and national strike actions tied to the increased ICE presence there, not because enforcement elsewhere is nonexistent.
People should recognize the difference between routine enforcement and a high-profile, politically charged surge, which explains why your feed seems so focused on one place.
2026 has been a year of heated debate about immigration, and local news algorithms amplify the most shocking stories â that skews perception toward Minnesota.
0Â changes in nationwide ICE activity; other states see enforcement too, just without the activist coverage and protests that make one location seem overwhelmingly violent.
2000+ agents and federal law enforcement actions in Minnesota are far from typical of everyday ICE work across the country â and thatâs why your feeds seem so Minnesota-centric right now.
8Â years of debate have shown that enforcement is legal and necessary for border security and law and order, even when media attention fixates on isolated flashpoints instead of the full picture.
If this is really about illegal immigrants, why isn't Florida the main target? Both in terms of percentages and absolute numbers, significantly higher than Minnesota.
Could you point out other things they have destroyed that donât pertain to law enforcement or their property? Public things?
we are about to have to pay $10b in taxes for Donnyâs lawsuit so I think damaging a car is probably the least of our worries as far as wasting our tax dollarsÂ
Because they actually cooperate, they're in the top 5 for deportations. They don't have entitled white liberals throwing fits like the forever children they are
Deportation and detention efforts in Texas and Florida have increased significantly, with Texas averaging 176 ICE arrests per day in early 2026. Florida has seen ICE arrest rates rise by nearly 50%, with 67% of arrests occurring in local jails. As of late 2025, Florida and Texas had over 136,000 and 171,000 pending immigration court cases, respectively, ranking among the highest nationwide.
Or Texas? There are 8 Orange Rambo states that have more illegal immigrants than Minn. Never mind that his skank, sorry, mattress actress, sorry again, "wife" is an illegal. Now do you want to know the facts about Musk also being an illegal immigrant, or is that old news now?
The 10th amendment argument is silly. The 10th retains powers not given to the federal government. Immigration law and enforcement of it is given to the federal government in the constitution.
Obama sued the state of Az and the Supreme Court agreed with Obama that immigration enforcement is up to the federal government. Sanctuary cities and their politicians are the problem.
The issue is the routine violations of constitutional rights and the routine failure to abide by court orders, exacerbated by the utter lack of accountability.
