Скачать или смотреть Special Report #4 - Federal Power v. State Rights: MN Takes on ICE -The 10th Amendment Clash in MN

In this special deep‑dive episode of The Republic – If You Can Keep It, Rob & Lou unpack one of the most fascinating constitutional clashes unfolding today: Minnesota and Minneapolis suing ICE under the 10th Amendment. What looks like a political headline becomes a powerful lesson in federalism, state sovereignty, and the limits of federal authority — the kind of grounded civic analysis that defines this show.

Rob & Lou break down why Minnesota argues that ICE’s enforcement actions inside the state violate the 10th Amendment and impose financial burdens on local resources. They explore the amendment’s famously brief language, the historical meaning of “reserved powers,” and how Minnesota is using that framework to challenge federal immigration enforcement.

The conversation digs into landmark Supreme Court cases like Printz v. United States and Murphy v. NCAA, which established that the federal government cannot commandeer state resources. Rob & Lou contrast this with Texas v. United States, where a state sued the federal government for not enforcing immigration laws — revealing the contradictions that make modern federalism so complex.

With immigration enforcement rooted in Article I and Article II powers, the federal government’s authority is strong — but Minnesota’s lawsuit raises real constitutional questions worth examining. Rob & Lou bring clarity, context, and a steady constitutional lens to one of the most important state‑versus‑federal disputes in the country.
