Judge Dismisses DOJ Suit Against Minnesota over ‘Sanctuary Policies’
The judge said the complaint failed to show specific harms and that federal law cannot force states to carry out immigration enforcement.
- A federal judge dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit challenging Minnesota's sanctuary laws and policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, citing the 10th Amendment's anticommandeering doctrine.
- Judge Eric Tostrud ruled that requiring Minnesota to enforce federal immigration laws violates the U.S. Constitution's 10th Amendment, which protects states from being forced to use resources for federal purposes.
