India, Jan. 13 -- The state of Minnesota, along with its largest city Minneapolis and St. Paul, filed a federal lawsuit on January 12 seeking to block the Trump Administration's controversial surge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agents in the Twin Cities area.

In presidential elections, Minnesota has historically been seen as a Democratic-leaning (or "blue") state. In 2016, Hillary Clinton narrowly defeated Donald Trump in Minnesota to win the state's ten electoral votes. In that election, Minnesota was not won by Trump. Similarly, in the 2020 and 2024 elections, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won Minnesota, respectively.
