Trump De-escalates in Minneapolis: Federal Agents to Withdraw

Donald Trump announced the withdrawal of federal agents from Minneapolis, following strong criticism over the deaths of two protesters. Simultaneously, he is replacing the Border Patrol Chief, Greg Bovino, with Tom Homan, who will oversee ICE operations. This move appears to be an attempt to de-escalate tensions, as the city has been plunged into protests and unrest after the deaths. Trump is seeking to appease voices accusing him of a hardline approach and has begun talks with the governor and mayor of Minneapolis. However, his demand for cooperation with federal immigration agencies remains, which is met with skepticism by local officials.
