Minneapolis has become the center of a national immigration flashpoint after federal authorities announced a major shift in ICE operations. 700 officers have been withdrawn from the city, but federal leaders insist enforcement is not ending, it’s being restructured. Border chief Tom Homan confirmed growing cooperation between local jails and federal agencies, allowing ICE to take custody of undocumented immigrants before release. While city leaders call the reduction progress, nearly 2,000 federal officers remain in the region. WATCH 

Vice President J.D. Vance is facing growing backlash after refusing to apologize for resharing controversial claims tied to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse from Minneapolis who was killed during a federal immigration enforcement operation. The controversy escalated after White House aide Stephen Miller publicly labeled Pretti a “would-be assassin”, alleging he attempted to kill federal agents. Vice President Vance reshared the post and when asked in an interview whether he would apologize to Pretti’s family, he responded bluntly: “For what?” adding that it would be wrong to “prejudge the investigation”.
