St. Paul, Minnesota — Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison criticized the Trump administration for politicizing immigration enforcement, citing a lack of federal investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer. He called for a thorough state investigation while disputing claims about 5-year-old Liam Ramos, taken into custody by ICE, asserting that the agency used him as bait. Ellison’s office, along with Minneapolis and St. Paul, has filed a lawsuit against DHS for alleged unlawful arrest tactics, emphasizing the operation is politically motivated. He highlighted significant costs incurred by local governments due to the surge, insisting on the need for legal accountability from federal authorities.
