No immediate court decision on a request to stop the immigration crackdown in Minnesota
There has been no decision, yet, on Minnesota’s request to suspend the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. The surge is roiling the state’s largest cities. Federal agents have been pulling people from cars and confronting angry bystanders. Federal Judge Katherine Menendez on Wednesday promised to keep the case “on the front burner.” She gave the government until Monday to respond to a request for a restraining order. Plumes of tear gas, the deployment of chemical irritants and the screech of protest whistles have become common on the streets of Minneapolis, where an immigration agent killed Renee Good last week.
