Minn. Teachers Union, Schools Sue to Halt ICE Raids
4th February 2026
Two Minnesota school districts and a statewide teachers union filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday seeking to block immigration enforcement operations near schools, escalating legal challenges to the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegals in the state, The Hill reported.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in St. Paul, asked a judge to prohibit federal immigration agents from carrying out enforcement operations within 1,000 feet of school property or school bus stops unless agents obtain a judicial warrant or face what the suit describes as “exigent circumstances.”
The case was brought by the Fridley and Duluth public school districts, along with Education Minnesota, a union that represents more than 80,000 educators statewide.
