Trump Calls for 'Softer Stance' on Immigration After 700 ICE Agents Pulled from Minnesota

• US President Donald Trump suggested a "softer touch" on immigration, contrasting his usual hardline stance.
• The comments followed the withdrawal of 700 federal ICE officers from Minnesota, a state with increased ICE activity.
• Trump's immigration stance has been inconsistent, oscillating between calls for less ICE action and threats of tighter crackdowns.
• Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, confirmed the withdrawal but stated 2,000 agents would remain, and mass deportations would continue.
• Minneapolis Mayor and Minnesota Governor welcomed the pullback as a "step in the right direction" but urged faster winding down of operations.
