Trump orders agents to avoid Democratic city protests

United States President Donald Trump has instructed the Department of Homeland Security to refrain from intervening in protests in Democrat-run cities unless requested for federal assistance. Trump emphasized that ICE and Border Patrol will defend federal buildings aggressively, warning against any violence towards law enforcement. The move follows weeks of protests and clashes in Minneapolis, prompting demands for the withdrawal of federal immigration agents. The administration’s decision to scale back enforcement operations and foster cooperation with local authorities has sparked optimism in the city, although protesters continue to call for a complete removal of federal troops to ease tensions.
