We allege that the surge, reckless impact on our schools, on our local law enforcement is a violation of the 10th Amendment and the sovereign laws and powers of the Constitution
grants to states.
We allege that DHS's use of excessive and lethal force, their warrantless racist arrests, their targeting of our courts, our churches, houses of worship, and schools are a violation of the Administrative Procedures Act on arbitrary and capricious federal actions, and we ask that the courts will end the surge of thousands of DHS agents into Minnesota.

He doesn't like how we take care of each other or how we make sure our kids have enough to eat.
He doesn't like the strength that immigrant communities bring to our state.
