US Ends Immigration Enforcement Operation in Minneapolis

The US immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis is ending, following an announcement by President Trump's envoy, Tom Homan. The operation, which began in January, had sparked backlash and protests, and was marred by the deaths of two American citizens during police operations. The decision to end the operation came after intense pressure and negotiations with local authorities. While Homan defended the operation, acknowledging the arrest of 4,000 people without legal documents, the decision marks a change in the Trump administration's approach to immigration.
