Attorneys representing Minnesota and the Twin Cities argued in court that the federal actions on the ground were causing, quote, tremendous damage and asked the court to immediately halt the immigration surge with a temporary restraining order. U.S. district Judge Kate Menendez, president Biden appointee, denied that request while acknowledging that the surge, quote, has had and will likely continue to have profound and even heartbreaking consequences for the state of Minnesota. But she said that an injunction halting the operation would go too far and harm the federal government's efforts to enforce immigration laws. The operation has sent thousands of immigration agents to the city, sparking weeks of protests and and the killing of two US Citizens by federal agents. Kat Lansdorf, NPR News, Minneapolis.

Your ears, your nose, your fingers, your toes, even your cheeks and your chin. You want to keep all of your exposed skin covered and then, of course, limit or avoid time outside as well.
