Trump Admin Pulls 700 ICE Agents from Minnesota in Surprise Drawdown

TL;DR Summary
The Trump administration will immediately withdraw 700 federal immigration agents from Minnesota, reducing ICE presence to about 2,000 in the state. The move follows increased county jail cooperation to notify ICE about detainee releases; Minnesota law limits detainer holds and counties could face liability, with some counties (like Hennepin) resisting cooperation. The policy’s scope and implementation across counties remain unclear.
