U.S. Pulls 700 ICE Agents From Minneapolis After Deadly Operations

Overview

• Officials said roughly 2,000 federal agents will remain in Minnesota after the immediate withdrawal, down from an estimated 2,700 to 3,000 deployed since December and far above the usual 150.
• President Trump tapped Tom Homan to oversee the Minneapolis response, and Homan said the force could eventually return to about 150 agents without providing a timeline.
• The Justice Department opened a new investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti, focusing on potential violations of his rights.
• DHS has begun distributing body-worn cameras to ICE personnel and has made their use mandatory for agents’ uniforms.
• In an NBC interview, Trump said the approach could have been "a little more delicate" while insisting on toughness, as the governor and mayor called the drawdown a step in the right direction and urged deeper cuts.
