In a rare moment of honesty, CNN legal analyst Elie Hoenig delivered crushing news to Democrats desperately trying to obstruct President Trump's immigration enforcement blitz – their lawsuits against ICE don't stand a chance in hell.
When asked directly on CNN whether Minnesota's lawsuit against federal immigration enforcement had "any chance of doing anything," Hoenig was brutally frank: "NO, I don't think so. What they're asking – the state of Minnesota is asking a federal judge to throw ICE out of the state."
The legal reality check comes as Minnesota Democrats explore increasingly desperate measures to protect illegal immigrants from deportation, including suing the federal government to stop immigration law enforcement in their state. This follows reports that an ICE agent who shot Renee Good in self-defense is unlikely to face charges – a decision that has the left scrambling for new ways to grandstand against the Trump administration's America First agenda.
Trump's ICE Army Grows Despite Democrat Tantrums
Reports indicate that an additional 1,000 ICE and Border Patrol agents are heading to Minnesota, signaling the Trump administration's serious commitment to removing illegal immigrants from American communities. As journalist Cathy Wurzer noted on social media, "CNN and @nytimes report an additional 1k of ICE/Border Patrol agents coming to Mn."
The federal response has Patriots celebrating across social media. One user didn't mince words about the Democrat opposition: "DemocRATS are FILTH!!!" – expressing the frustration many Americans feel watching Democrats prioritize illegal immigrants over law-abiding citizens.
"What Minnesota Democrats are attempting is nothing short of nullification – trying to override federal immigration law because they don't like the results of the 2024 election."
But as CNN's own legal expert admits, federal immigration enforcement trumps state feelings every single time. The Constitution's Supremacy Clause ensures that states can't simply opt out of federal law because their politicians throw temper tantrums.
While Democrats waste taxpayer money on doomed lawsuits, President Trump's deportation operation continues full steam ahead. The question isn't whether these legal stunts will work – even CNN admits they won't. The question is how many more resources Democrats will squander trying to protect people who shouldn't be here in the first place.
