Trump’s ICE Stopped by Federal Judge | THIS Is Why a Judge Shut Down ICE | Rachel Maddow




A federal judge has stepped in to block key elements of Trump’s ICE operation in Minneapolis, issuing a sweeping preliminary injunction that directly limits how federal agents can interact with peaceful protesters.

In this video, we break down what the court ruled, why the judge found Fourth Amendment violations, and how ICE tactics—including detentions, vehicle stops, and use of force—were deemed unconstitutional at this stage of the case. The ruling follows weeks of escalating tension, mass protests, and mounting legal challenges tied to the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement surge.

We also examine how this decision affects:

Trump’s broader ICE strategy

The Department of Justice’s response

Ongoing investigations involving Minnesota officials

The constitutional limits on federal power during protests

This case could reshape how immigration enforcement operates during civil unrest—and it may set a powerful precedent nationwide.
