A federal judge is set to hear arguments on whether to pause an immigration crackdown in Minnesota. The hearing Monday follows the fatal shootings of two people by government officers in Minneapolis. The state and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security two weeks ago. They want to restore conditions before the Trump administration's Operation Metro Surge began in December. Minnesota's Democratic Attorney General Keith Ellison plans to attend the hearing. Justice Department attorneys have called the lawsuit legally frivolous. The case could have implications for other states facing similar immigration enforcement operations.
