A coalition of local schools and teachers became the latest group to take their issues with the Trump administration’s Operation Metro Surge to federal court on Wednesday. Since the Trump administration began the immigration enforcement operation in the Minneapolis area, it has received pushback over its aggressive tactics with a flurry of lawsuits.

The lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota targets the Department of Homeland Security’s decision, on the first day of the Trump administration, to revoke the policy restricting immigration enforcement at “sensitive locations,” including churches and schools. The coalition of school districts and the teachers union argue the policy was unlawfully revoked in January 2025 and cite the “fear” possible enforcement operations at schools has caused students and parents.
