ICE can operate near schools, Minnesota judge rules

The Trump administration scored a legal victory in combating illegal immigration when a federal judge cleared the way for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to operate near schools, for now.

The lawsuit brought by Minnesota public school districts sought a temporary injunction against immigration enforcement agents having a presence near schools, claiming it increased absenteeism and disrupted learning.

U.S. District Judge Laura Provinzino of the District of Minnesota denied the schools’ request for a preliminary injunction while the case moves forward and said the plaintiffs likely lacked standing. Provinzino is a Biden appointee.

“Accordingly, because the Court concludes that Plaintiffs have not shown they are likely to establish standing, the Court also must conclude that Plaintiffs are unlikely to prevail on the merits,” the judge wrote in a 38-page opinion released Wednesday.

The plaintiffs include the Fridley and Duluth public school districts, as well as the Education Minnesota union. They are represented by Democracy Forward, a liberal litigation group chaired by veteran Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Finally a judge addresses "standing" in one of the left-wing lawsuits against the Trump administration. I've wondered how so many groups have managed to get past that point in their lawsuits.

Plus, notice they were suing against ICE operating near schools. Not "in" but even "near". Who would decide the definition of "near"?

Also, Marc Elias is a snake and should be disbarred.

After all their education at those centers when they got into middle school they knew how to play "hide the salami". That's about it. 🎩🪄

” . . . claiming it increased absenteeism and disrupted learning.”

Tell the teachers they have to show up. It’s a job requirement.
