Border Patrol has a history of tough law enforcement near the US-Mexico border. Now they're using the same tactics in cities nationwide.

A U.S. citizen says in a statement that she was dragged from her car and detained by immigration officers in Minneapolis.

The ACLU filed a class-action lawsuit in Minnesota against Immigration and Customs Enforcement on behalf of three people who say they have been racially profiled in recent weeks.

The top U.S. immigration judge has told her colleagues that they are not bound by a federal court ruling that declared the Trump administration cannot place thousands of people in mandatory detention without an opportunity to be released on bond.

Minneapolis is at the center of sweeping, evolving federal immigration push. It demonstrates how different immigration enforcement is under Trump's second administration - and raises questions about the lingering effects on local communities and law enforcement.

Work starts around sunrise for many of the federal officers carrying out the immigration crackdown in and around the Twin Cities, with people in tactical gear streaming from a bland office building.

It's the latest development in a case that raises separation-of-power questions and tests the ability of courts to limit federal actions under Trump.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan 16 (Reuters) - A federal judge in Minnesota on Friday ordered that U.S. immigration agents deployed en masse to Minneapolis be restricted in some of the tactics they have taken against peaceful demonstrators and observers, including arrests and tear-gassing.

The class action lawsuit says Somali and Latino Minnesotans were unlawfully stopped and arrested during Operation Metro Surge.

The ICE and Border Patrol shootings show a pattern that policing experts say is alarming: officers firing into cars and injuring and killing drivers.
