Overview
- Two immigration agents were placed on administrative leave after a joint ICE–Justice Department video review indicated their sworn testimony about a Minneapolis traffic‑stop shooting appears untruthful.
- The Minnesota U.S. attorney has dropped charges against the two Venezuelan men involved in that incident, which occurred during Operation Metro Surge.
- White House border czar Tom Homan says more than 1,000 federal agents have left Minnesota, hundreds more will depart in days, and a small security force will remain temporarily.
- Congress failed to pass DHS funding, starting a partial shutdown that affects agencies such as TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard, while most staff continue working without pay.
- Democrats are conditioning new DHS funding on statutory limits for ICE, including body cameras, visible identification, mask bans and judicial warrants, as Republicans signal support for cameras but resist other demands.
