AG Ellison, on behalf of the state of Minnesota and alongside the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and related agencies and officials, asking the court to end the unprecedented surge of DHS agents into the state and declare it unconstitutional and unlawful. They also ask the court for a temporary restraining order, citing the immediate harm the state and cities are facing. 
 
“People are being racially profiled, harassed, terrorized, and assaulted. Schools have gone into lockdown. Businesses have been forced to close. Minnesota police are spending countless hours dealing with the chaos ICE is causing. This federal invasion of the Twin Cities has to stop, so today I am suing DHS to bring it to an end.” – AG Ellison
