Federal Judge Rejects Minnesota’s Request to Pause Operation Metro Surge

Federal judge Kate Menendez denied Minnesota’s request to halt “Operation Metro Surge,” stating the state failed to prove its case against the federal operation, which is claimed to be harmful to local residents. Minnesota argues that the operation infringes on its police powers and is politically motivated, while the Trump administration defends it as a necessary enforcement of federal law against illegal immigration. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey expressed disappointment, describing the operation as an invasion. This operation marks the largest federal law enforcement deployment in U.S. history.
