From The New York Times, it's the headlines.

I'm Tracy Mumford.

Today's Tuesday, January 13th.

Here's what we're covering.

The state of Minnesota is suing the Trump administration over the mass deployment of ICE agents there, claiming it has violated the U.S.

Constitution and infringed on the state's rights.

It comes as the administration has announced it's sending 1,000 more immigration officers to the state, on top of the roughly 2,000 other federal agents who are already there.

The lawsuit asks the federal judge to block the deployments.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said that even before the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent last week escalated tensions there, residents had already been racially profiled, harassed, terrorized and assaulted.

Over the last month, across the Twin Cities, armed agents have marched through apartment complexes, demanding to see documents and handcuffing people.

They've targeted construction workers at job sites and tackled a man on his lunch break near downtown as he repeatedly screamed he was a U.S.

citizen.

The Trump administration initially launched its widespread enforcement operation in Minnesota to target undocumented Somali immigrants amid a major welfare fraud scandal.

It says the new surge is needed to allow agents to carry out their work safely.

In a separate lawsuit, the state of Illinois also sued the administration yesterday over its ICE deployment there, saying the federal agents were, quote, imposing a climate of fear.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security called that suit baseless.

Meanwhile, The Times has learned new details about the FBI investigation into Renee Good's death in Minneapolis.

Sources say it seems increasingly unlikely that the federal agent who killed her will face criminal charges.

They say investigators have been looking into the agent's actions and into the connections Good might have had to activist groups opposed to the administration's immigration crackdown.

That focus appears to be in line with comments President Trump has made, in which he's repeatedly claimed, without evidence, that protesters opposed to his policies are part of a shadowy, violent network.
