What is Minnesota's lawsuit against Homeland Security about?
Minnesota goes to court. I'm Lisa Brady, Fox News. The state is now suing the head of Homeland Security, hoping to block a surge of immigration enforcement.
The deployment of thousands of armed mass DHS agents to Minnesota has done our state serious harm. This is, in essence, a federal invasion of the Twin Cities and Minnesota, and it must stop.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison accusing federal agents of terrorizing the state. This lawsuit coming days after a woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent in what federal officials call an act of self-defense. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin telling Fox... He followed his training.
He was in fear for his life.
The White House says protesters are impeding lawful operations.
How is the federal immigration enforcement impacting Minnesota?
Illinois' Democratic governor also announcing a new lawsuit over immigration enforcement operations, accusing Homeland Security of a dangerous use of force. And there may be a new funding fight tied to this on Capitol Hill.
Some Democrats in Congress have called on leadership to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security, even if it were to result in another government shutdown. Senator Mark Warner is not one of them, saying he doesn't want to see a repeat of last November's longest shutdown in history. Congress has until the end of January to pass 12 appropriations bills to fund the government. One of them funds the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE. Fox's Ryan Schmelz.
Arizona Senator and Navy veteran Mark Kelly is suing the Pentagon, accusing the war secretary of violating his rights with efforts to punish him over a Democrat video, arguing that leaves veterans under a constant threat of having rank or retirement pay reduced.
Just because he or another secretary of defense or a president... Doesn't like what they've said.
The video urged service members not to obey illegal orders. War Secretary Pete Hegseth censured Kelly as a step toward additional punishment. America is listening to Fox News.

The U.S. Supreme Court will not take up a review of a bankruptcy plan for the Boy Scouts of America.
What are the implications of Congress funding the Department of Homeland Security?
The high court justices rejected the appeal of a small group of sexual assault survivors who said they were against a $2.5 billion compensation plan. The Boy Scouts declared bankruptcy in 2020, the result of money spent on hundreds of abuse lawsuits against the organization. In 2022, a federal bankruptcy court in Delaware okayed a reorganization plan allowing the scouts to keep operating while claims against them were still being filed. But a few dozen survivors wanted the Supreme Court to block that deal. For now, a lower appeals court decision will remain in place. Grinnell Scott, Fox News.
Tomorrow, the Supreme Court hears two fights over bans on transgender athletes and women and girls sports. One case from Idaho, the other from West Virginia, where J.B. McCluskey is the state attorney general.
The reason that we are here is because Idaho and West Virginia passed common sense laws that delineates the athletic playing fields in our states between the sexes.
What legal challenges are being faced regarding transgender athletes in sports?
But opponents call it discrimination, and lower courts struck down the bans for students in elementary school through college. Mattel launches its first autistic Barbie, calling it an expansion of the company's commitment to inclusion.
The doll was made in collaboration with the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network. She has a shifted eye gaze, is wearing noise-canceling headphones, and holding a fidget spinner. People on social media discussing the new doll, responding positively, but some others weren't happy, pointing out being autistic is not how you look, it's who you are. The doll's part of the Barbie Fashionistas collection, which features a diverse range of skin tones, hair textures, body types, and various medical conditions and disabilities.
