In a lawsuit filed Monday, the Justice Department argued Sherrill's order was unconstitutional and interfered with the federal government's enforcement of immigration laws. Trump's mass deportation efforts have drawn national scrutiny following fatal shootings of two US citizens by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis in January. On Monday, a former immigration official told members of Congress that training for federal agents was "deficient, defective and broken." Still, the Justice Department in its lawsuit said the New Jersey order "poses an intolerable obstacle to federal immigration enforcement."
