You do have a point, and I agree.

The problem was curable. Minnesota determined that it could hold a detainee if it had a Judicial Warrant, "because state law and Attorney General guidance say local officials can't hold people solely on federal immigration detainers (civil requests) without a court order." These judicial warrants aren't that hard to get. You get some cooperating judges (lots of these) and you can get it over the phone if need be.

The Federal Immigration Detainers are signed by the equivalent of a police captain - just from looking at it. So you get a cooperating attorney or the ICE agent himself, who is versed well enough to present it to the judge, and voila! Presto! Judicial Warrant. I'll bet the ICE agent who signs the detainer could talk to the Judge and get the Judicial warrant. It looks like a question of liability, not a road block.
