Attorney General William Tong today, joining a coalition of 20 attorneys general, filed an amicus brief in support of Minnesota’s lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s "extraordinary campaign of lawlessness" during its deployment of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Border Patrol to the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Note that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched "Operation Metro Surge" in December 2025, surging thousands of federal agents into the sanctuary, fraud-plagued state of Minnesota.
