Federal courts in Minnesota kept up a stream of decisions and orders that constrained parts of the immigration enforcement surge and demanded accountability from federal officials. An appeals court temporarily stayed a lower‑court injunction limiting ICE tactics while other judges ordered ICE leadership to explain noncompliance with habeas‑related hearing requirements. The rulings and hearings have immediate operational implications for enforcement in the region and for universities that host students and staff affected by federal actions. State attorneys general and city officials are using the court process to preserve evidence and press for transparency, while university legal teams monitor how rulings could affect campus safety and student rights.
