US Ends Minnesota Immigration Crackdown After Backlash, Two Deaths

• The Trump administration has ended its two-month immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota, which led to thousands of arrests and widespread protests.
• The decision follows the fatal shootings of two US citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, by federal officers in Minneapolis.
• Border czar Tom Homan announced the move, calling the operation effective with over 4,000 arrests, primarily in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region.
• Despite ending the Minnesota initiative, Homan stated that federal immigration enforcement efforts and the broader deportation strategy will continue elsewhere.
• Democratic Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey had expressed concerns, with Walz calling the operation an "occupation" and "retribution campaign."
