If the very concept sounds absurd to you, it should, and even CNN's legal analyst Elie Honig said this effort is doomed to fail.

During a discussion with Anderson Cooper, Honig, a former federal prosecutor, made it clear that blue state efforts to sue Immigration and Customs Enforcement amount to political theater rather than a viable legal strategy. Minnesota, like Illinois before it, is asking a federal judge to do something courts simply do not do: block federal agents from enforcing federal law.

"Former Federal Prosecutor and CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig is here," Cooper began. "I mean, does this lawsuit have any chance of doing anything?

Honig did not hedge. "No, I don't think so."

He explained that Minnesota's request runs headlong into the Constitution itself. "What they're asking, the state of Minnesota is asking a federal judge to throw ICE out of the state and to prohibit ICE from enforcing federal law in the state," Honig said. "There's simply no precedent for that."

The reason is straightforward. "To do that would violate the supremacy clause, which says the states cannot block the feds from doing their federal duties," Honig explained.
