DHS says no immediate city-wide immigration sweeps; enforcement pivots nationwide

DHS officials say there are no immediate plans for large-scale, city-focused immigration enforcement operations; ICE will instead target serious criminals nationwide and Border Patrol interior operations will be paused with agents returned to border sectors. The Minneapolis deployment—over 3,000 officers and about 4,000 arrests—drew scrutiny after the killings of two U.S. citizens, with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem signaling a shift toward focusing on crimes by people in the country illegally and on voting security.
