Trump will consider reducing number of federal agents in Minnesota
President Trump had a "very good call" with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, aiming to reduce tensions as the White House adjusts its approach. It plans to lessen federal agent presence if local cooperation improves.
Federal hearings on immigration enforcement were held, with Minnesota challenging the legality of federal actions following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by ICE agents. Pretti, a nurse filming the officers, was killed during his encounter with them.
Trump did not comment on the officer's conduct but noted that investigations are underway. He is sending border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota, indicating an immigration strategy shift.
Attorney General Pam Bondi's demands to ease the ICE surge were criticized as a “ransom note.” There are conflicting claims about Pretti's legal ownership of a firearm during the protests.
