- President Donald Trump said he will withdraw ICE leader Gregory Bovino from Minneapolis after a call with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
- OpenAI’s Sam Altman told staff that “what ICE is doing goes too far,” distinguishing deportations of violent offenders from the current enforcement measures.
- Apple’s Tim Cook told employees he was deeply upset by the events, urged de-escalation, and said he discussed the situation with the president.
- About 450 workers at Google, OpenAI, Nvidia and Salesforce signed an open letter urging executives to press the government to pull ICE from cities and cancel contracts, and more than 60 corporate leaders separately called for de-escalation.
- An initial official report appears to contradict DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s early self-defense characterization of the shooting, as protests focus on ICE’s Operation Metro Surge.
