Trump Suggests Softer Approach to Immigration After Minneapolis Shootings

President Donald Trump expressed to NBC News that his administration could adopt a “softer touch” in immigration enforcement following the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis. He criticized Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for their public outcry against his immigration policies, despite previous private discussions. Trump confirmed the withdrawal of 700 federal agents from Minnesota, asserting it was necessary for dealing with criminals. His claims about 25 million undocumented immigrants are disputed, with actual figures from the Biden administration indicating 7.4 million crossed illegally.
