Trump De-escalates in Minneapolis: Federal Agents to Withdraw

Donald Trump is seeking de-escalation in Minneapolis following the death of a second protester. He announced the withdrawal of federal agents from the city and the replacement of the border patrol chief. Trump stated he does not want to see people injured or killed in the streets. However, he maintains the need for cooperation with federal agencies to address illegal immigration, a position that is drawing criticism from local Democratic officials, as Minneapolis has declared itself a 'sanctuary' for migrants. The justice system is investigating the circumstances of the two deaths.
