US EditionFederal Judge Bars Trump Administration From Detaining Lawful Refugees in Minnesota
Federal judge blocks arrests of 5,600 lawful Minnesota refugees pending green cards, ordering immediate release and return of those detained out of state amid legal challenges to DHS's Operation PARRIS.
- On Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge John R. Tunheim temporarily blocked the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from arresting refugees awaiting green cards in Minnesota.
- Operation PARRIS, begun earlier this month, led Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to arrest Minnesota refugees at check‑ins, homes, and en route to work or school, some sent over 1,200 miles away.
- Advocates note the refugees were thoroughly vetted through the Refugee Admissions Program, have work permission, and none face removal charges, while reporting says more than 100 were relocated to Texas.
- The court ordered immediate release of detained refugees and directed the 5‑year‑old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father be returned to Minnesota and freed within five days.
- Lawyers argue the operation reflects targeted animus, citing months of rhetoric against the Somali community in the Twin Cities, while U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services reviews thousands of cases and protections for roughly 1 million immigrants were canceled last year.
