A federal judge nominated by former President Donald Trump has ruled against the Trump administration in a key legal case concerning local immigration policy in Minnesota. According to a Monday court filing, the administration had argued that Minnesota's sanctuary laws violate the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which establishes federal law as supreme over state and local laws. The judge's decision represents a significant legal setback for the administration's efforts to enforce federal immigration priorities against states and localities that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The ruling underscores the ongoing legal battles over the balance of power between federal and state governments on immigration enforcement.
