The State of Minnesota is suing the Trump administration over the deaths of two activists who were killed when they attempted to obstruct immigration raids in Minneapolis.
Minnesota has now filed a lawsuit demanding evidence and information on the shootings of activists Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were both killed while attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, and illegal alien Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, who was wounded.
The Trump administration has refused to name the agents involved in the shooting, despite local newspapers revealing their identities.
“The federal government has refused to cooperate with state law enforcement, which is unique, rare and simply cannot be tolerated,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison told reporters.
“[We] can’t sit around and let them do it.”
Governor Tim Walz discussed the lawsuit during an interview with MSNOW on Thursday, and said he would fight for “justice” until “the final days of this administration and beyond.”
He said he was partnering with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), activist groups and even the United Nations to launch a “commission” into the “horrific assault” launched against Minnesota by the Trump administration.
“We’ve always partnered with our federal authorities when needed, and I made the move yesterday, using my executive authority to put a commission together,” Walz said.
“We are capturing all of the stories. We being the ACLU, a lot of groups, especially immigrant groups, folks at the United Nations and in Geneva are working because what happened in Minnesota and the absolute horrific assault on this state, if this happened in another country— it wasn’t that long ago that the United States was a voice of reason, decency and human rights—we would investigate those things.”
State prosecutors are also weighing charges against the agents involved in the shootings.
“State prosecutors across the country are going to be watching what happens in Minnesota really closely,” Alicia Bannon, director of the judiciary program at the Brennan Center for Justice, said.
Meanwhile, ICE has been purchasing warehouses in order to provide a massive increase in detention capacity.
The purchases will add capacity for more than 90,000 detainees.
The Wall Street Journal reports that ICE “plans to spend $38.3 billion on a new detention model that includes acquiring warehouses and converting them into detention centers.”
ICE has now bought 11 “mostly new or empty” warehouses in recent months.
There are plans to acquire at least two dozens more warehouses and turn them into detention centers and processing sites.
The Journal also reports that “ICE was told to temporarily slow down its plans while Markwayne Mullin, Trump’s pick to replace Kristi Noem as Department of Homeland Security Secretary, was waiting to be confirmed by the Senate.”
Mullins was confirmed on Monday.
ICE officials now believe most of the sites will be fully operational by the end of 2026.
The new centers will be able to hold between 1,500 and 8,500 detainees. Most of the 300 current facilities can only hold hundreds.
🚨RED ALERT: Trump Has Been Set Up By The NeoCons!!!
