Apparently, the Constitution now comes with a permission slip.

According to Minnesota’s political class—and the federal judge they are hoping will indulge them—federal immigration law is binding except when local officials find it inconvenient, uncomfortable, or politically risky. In those moments, the thinking goes, the state can simply ask a court to restrain Immigration and Customs Enforcement and call it “constitutional balance.”

Thankfully, the Trump administration is having none of it.

The Constitution does not grant states authority over immigration. It never has. Article I explicitly empowers Congress to establish a uniform rule of naturalization. Not a regional one. Not a city-approved one. Uniform. Immigration enforcement is inseparable from national sovereignty, which is precisely why the Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that it belongs to the federal government.

ICE does not need Minnesota’s permission. Neither does the Constitution. And if we forget that, we will not be stepping forward into justice—we will be sliding backward into disorder.
