Trump Orders Drawdown of Immigration Agents in Minnesota Amid Rising Tensions

The Trump administration has initiated the withdrawal of 700 federal immigration agents from Minnesota, marking a notable shift in the large-scale enforcement surge that has dominated the state in recent weeks. The decision follows intense public criticism and heightened political pressure after enforcement operations resulted in the deaths of two U.S. citizens, sparking widespread concern over federal tactics.

Despite the reduction, several thousand agents will remain active across Minnesota, continuing operations that have fueled protests, strained relations with local leaders, and unsettled immigrant communities. State officials have argued that the federal presence has been excessive and destabilizing, while the administration maintains that ongoing enforcement is necessary to meet national security priorities.

President Trump acknowledged that recent events in Minneapolis influenced the decision to scale back, noting the need for a more measured approach. Even with the drawdown, federal authorities emphasize that immigration enforcement will continue at a steady pace, leaving many residents bracing for further activity.
