Since December, when federal immigration agents started pouring into Minneapolis, City Attorney Kristyn Anderson has been trying to get them out.
There are several lawsuits alleging lawless arrests of U.S. citizens, bullying by agents, and unfair detainment of migrants. That was all before agents shot and killed observer Alex Pretti. On Monday, two days after Pretti’s death, Anderson was back in court listening to lawyers for her office and the Minnesota attorney general try to convince U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez to intervene and stop the Trump administration’s Operation Metro Surge.
“The future of our democracy is hanging in the balance right now,” Anderson told NOTUS.
