US Withdraws 700 Immigration Officers from Minnesota Amid Minneapolis Shootings Controversy

The Trump administration announced the withdrawal of 700 federal immigration officers from Minnesota amid protests following the fatal shootings of two protesters by federal agents in Minneapolis. President Trump suggested a 'softer touch' on immigration enforcement but emphasized continued toughness and mass deportations. About 2,000 officers remain in the state, with officials citing improved cooperation with local authorities. Minnesota leaders welcomed the reduction but urged a faster end to federal operations. Public criticism and calls for accountability persist.
