Trump Announces De-escalation of Immigration Operations in Minnesota

US President Donald Trump announced a de-escalation of immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota following the deaths of two American citizens shot by federal agents in Minneapolis. However, he clarified that this is not a withdrawal, but a 'change' in approach. Trump had spoken with Tom Homan, his immigration advisor, who was sent to Minnesota to oversee the situation. This decision comes amid heightened criticism of the involvement of federal authorities in operations in Minnesota, following protests sparked by the death of George Floyd.
