“The future of our democracy is hanging in the balance right now,” Anderson told NOTUS.
This court fight has become a rare case invoking the 10th Amendment that recognizes a locality’s ability to govern itself. Anderson said the “totality of the circumstances” have made daily life in Minneapolis difficult, something she hopes the judge takes into consideration.
“The totality has eroded our ability as a city government to protect our people,” she said.
Normally busy streets are empty. Popular shops and restaurants have been closed for weeks. Some schools have gone virtual to protect kids, whose parents have been taken by agents as they drop off or pick up their children.
One mother told NOTUS that she kept her children with her at the fast food restaurant she works at in St. Paul — where the doors remain locked in an effort to shield them from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Her child was more afraid to be left at home without her in case she never made it back.
Another couple,
BOTH US CITZENS (all caps mine)
said they kept their kids from attending an extracurricular gym class across town out of fear that federal agents would smash their car windows and drag them out for entering the wrong street — something half a dozen people told NOTUS they witnessed.
