Furthermore, the ruling comes amidst heightened tensions, with the Minnesota National Guard on standby, and potential deployment of active-duty soldiers, as well as an investigation into state officials who have condemned the ICE operations. Both the Department of Homeland Security and the White House have expressed disagreement with the judge’s decision.
