Minnesota school districts and the state’s teachers union asked a federal judge to restore limits on immigration enforcement actions in and near schools. Attorneys for the Fridley and Duluth districts and Education Minnesota argued that the Department of Homeland Security rescinded nationwide restrictions on enforcement at “sensitive locations” such as schools and school bus stops. The challenge follows an enforcement surge in Minnesota, including Operation Metro Surge, which involved thousands of federal officers and resulted in the deaths of two citizens in Minneapolis in January. The plaintiffs sought a stay or preliminary injunction that would reinstate prior restraints. The case hinges on legal questions including whether the districts and union have standing to sue and whether the policy change constitutes a final agency decision reviewable by courts. Even if the decision is limited to Minnesota, attorneys said they are unsure whether it would extend to other jurisdictions or sensitive locations. For higher education institutions with K-12 teacher pipelines, dual-enrollment programs, and community education partnerships, the outcome signals how enforcement policy affects student attendance stability and campus-adjacent learning ecosystems.
