Minnesota’s top legal officer has initiated a lawsuit against Texas’s governor in an attempt to secure the extradition of a federal immigration enforcement officer. The agent faces criminal charges including assault and filing a false report with authorities.

The legal filing represents an escalation in efforts to bring the defendant into Minnesota’s jurisdiction to face trial on the allegations.
