A Minnesota lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's ICE crackdowns as an 'invasion' will likely fail due to a lack of legal standing. Legal expert Elie Honig says state challenges against Trump's immigration policies amount to 'political diatribe.
A Minnesota lawsuit over President Trump's ICE crackdowns is unlikely to succeed due to a lack of legal standing, according to CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig. State challenges against the federal government's actions on immigration policies are typically deemed unconstitutional, as they represent matters within the federal sphere. Honig stated that such lawsuits amount to 'political diatribe' rather than legitimate attempts to address constitutional concerns. As a result, the lawsuit is expected to be dismissed.
