Minnesota AG Keith Ellison joins states challenging Trump immigration enforcement

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is joining a multistate coalition calling for a halt to what he says are unconstitutional immigration raids.
Ellison and attorneys general from 17 other states have filed an amicus brief in support of plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Trump-era immigration enforcement practices in Los Angeles.
The case, Vasquez Perdomo v. Noem, seeks a temporary restraining order to block ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents from making unlawful stops—stops the coalition says are based not on legal suspicion, but on racial profiling.
Ellison says these raids have caused fear, harmed public safety, and even led to the wrongful detention of U.S. citizens.
He added, “Nobody is above the law, including those who enforce it.”
The coalition also points to federal officers wearing masks and hiding their agency affiliation as a major concern. Ellison recently wrote about the issue in an essay titled “When the Law Won’t Show Its Face,” and he’s urging support for new legislation—the No Secret Police Act—to limit such practices.
The amicus brief argues that these immigration tactics hurt public health, local economies, and public trust, and calls on the court to put an end to what they call unlawful federal overreach.
