Minnesota Sues Trump Team Over Shooting Evidence
Minnesota sued the Trump administration over withheld evidence. Three shootings happened during a federal immigration operation in Minneapolis.
The operation was called Metro Surge. Two citizens were killed.
A Venezuelan man named Julio Sosa-Celis was shot in the leg and survived. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed the lawsuit.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty and police chief Drew Evans joined him. Pam Bondi and former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem were named as defendants.
Klear Note — Immigration enforcement operations target people in the country illegally. Metro Surge was a federal crackdown in Minneapolis. Withheld evidence means the government didn't share documents with state officials investigating the shootings.
