NPR reports that refugees in Minnesota filed a class-action lawsuit alleging unlawful arrests during an immigration crackdown that officials said targeted “the worst of the worst,” while plaintiffs say many had no criminal background. The report also raises due process questions: how cases are reviewed, what evidence is used, and how quickly people can be moved across state lines to detention centers far from families and legal support. It is a strong national accountability story that keeps focus on real impacts, not rhetoric.
