With limited political power, Minnesota Democrats navigate resistance to Trump
60-Second Summary
Minnesota has become a tense test of President Trump’s second-term immigration crackdown. After an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Macklin Good and another shooting left a man wounded, more than 2,000 federal immigration agents now operate in the state, with numbers expected to rise; Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act. Democratic leaders, including Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, are pushing back, while members of Congress were briefly admitted to an ICE facility before being turned away. With a lawsuit filed to halt ICE operations, a political standoff has taken hold.
