Toutiao.com January 14 report, according to Taiwan's Central News Agency on January 12, the U.S. state of Minnesota filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on January 12, accusing the federal government's immigration enforcement actions of causing controversy and conflict. Last week, a woman in Minneapolis was shot by federal law enforcement officers.

According to AFP, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison stated that the recent deployment of immigration officials by the Department of Homeland Security in this Democratic-controlled state has "made us less safe."

Ellison said at a press conference: "A large number of undertrained, overconfident, and armed federal law enforcement officers have flooded into our communities."

He said: "The federal government is targeting us because of our diversity and democratic values, which are contrary to its stance. This violates the Constitution and federal law and is essentially an invasion at the federal level."

37-year-old Good was shot and killed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers on July. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said that Republican President Trump targeted Minnesota as a focus for immigration crackdowns because the state is led by Democrats.

Frey said: "If the goal was simply to find undocumented immigrants, Minneapolis and St. Paul would not be the first choices."

He said: "Florida, Texas, and Utah have countless more undocumented immigrants." However, he pointed out that those states are governed by Republicans.

Another Democratic-led state, Illinois, which has also been targeted by the Trump administration's immigration enforcement actions, also filed a similar lawsuit against the federal government on the 12th.

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem defended the ICE officer who shot Good in a television interview on November 11. Noem said that when Good drove toward the officer, the latter fired in self-defense.

However, local officials strongly questioned this claim, pointing out that video footage showed Good's vehicle was actually driving away from the officer.
