[u]Background[/u]:
For those that don't know, state prisons in Minnesota actively cooperate and transfer criminal migrants to ICE and have done so for years.

The federal propaganda about lack of local cooperation paints the whole state with the same brush but a closer look reveals that cooperation at the local level varies by county. Some counties (especially large urban ones) refuse to honor ICE detainers without a warrant--their jails refuse to hold inmates past their court-ordered release date unless federal agents present a warrant signed by a judge. But at least 8 counties cooperate with ICE through 287(g) agreements.

Sanctuary policies are typically established through formal legislative actions or administrative directives by local governing bodies--e.g., city ordinances and county board resolutions. Local officials (like Mayor Frey) can't go against those policies unless the policies are overturned by local governing bodies.

So, as is the case with many important issues, the story is not as simple as the Trump administration presents it.

PS. I learn so much every day by researching issues raised on this site!

[/quote]Yes, the state Department of Corrections will hand people over.  The local jails will not do so, under orders from Tim Walz.[/quote]
