TLDRA federal court in Minneapolis is hearing arguments on whether the Trump administration's deployment of 3,000 immigration agents to Minnesota constitutes an illegal occupation of the state.

The case centers on the 10th amendment, which reserves to the states all powers not explicitly granted to the federal government in the constitution.
