US border chief and Trump agree to end deportations in Minnesota

The US border chief has announced the conclusion of a federal operation in Minnesota, with 700 immigration agents set to leave. The crackdown, known as Operation Metro Surge, led to mass detentions and protests, resulting in over 4,000 arrests. While federal authorities claim those arrested were “dangerous criminal illegal aliens,” many with no criminal records, including children and US citizens, were also detained. Governor Tim Walz expects the operation to end soon, following discussions with senior Trump administration officials.
