Judge Rules Against Trump in Minnesota Sanctuary City Lawsuit

{snip}

The Trump administration filed a lawsuit in September against the Twin Cities, Hennepin County, and the state over “sanctuary city policies” that limit local law enforcement’s collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. U.S. District Judge Eric C. Tostrud, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, dismissed the complaint this week, describing the government’s attempt to preempt local regulation as a violation of the 10th Amendment. He said the disputed policies merely “regulate how state and local officials perform their duties.”

The Trump administration has argued that the challenged policies, which include state statutes limiting access to driver’s license and vehicle registration data for immigration enforcement, as well as local ordinances barring state officers from enforcing federal immigration law, violate the supremacy clause of the Constitution, which states that federal law must be supreme over state and local law.
