Minnesota and Illinois separately filed lawsuits Monday against the Trump administration, arguing the presidents immigration crackdown is terrorizing their communities and violating the Constitution.
We have watched in horror as unchecked federal agents have aggressively assaulted and terrorized our communities and neighborhoods in Illinois, undermining Constitutional rights and threatening public safety, said Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
Chicago, as well as Minneapolis and Saint Paul, were also part of the lawsuits against the Trump administration.
The federal government has stepped up operations in Chicago and the Twin Cities, both Democratic strongholds, during the fall and local officials have criticized them for sowing chaos and confusion. An ICE-involved shooting last week in Minneapolis left a mother of three dead and kickstarted a series of nationwide protests.
