The US state of Minnesota has sued the Trump administration in an attempt to block a surge of federal immigration agents into the state.
The lawsuit argues the deployment amounts to an unconstitutional "federal invasion". Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison said immigration operations had upended life for millions and caused "chaos and violence".
It comes after Renee Good, 37, was shot dead by an immigration agent in Minneapolis last week, triggering large protests in the city.
The Trump administration has described the legal action as "baseless". It has also pledged to significantly increase its deployment in the area.
