MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Minnesota, its two largest cities and a county over so-called sanctuary policies that the agency says interfere with the federal government's authority to enforce immigration policies.
Minnesota is one of the latest jurisdictions targeted over their immigration enforcement policies by the Trump administration, which has sued Colorado, Illinois, New York and New Jersey as well as several cities including Boston,Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City and Rochester, New York.
Edlow said his officers got “great cooperation among our federal partners, and that’s where the cooperation ended,” due to what he said were local sanctuary policies.
Tim Walz was among three Democratic governors summoned by a U.S. House oversight committee back in June for a grilling over their states' immigration policies.
Walz rejected the assertion that Minnesota is a sanctuary state.
