Summary
Donald Trump is pressuring Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to make concessions in exchange for a reduction of federal ICE agents in the state. The proposed agreement involves increased cooperation between federal and local law enforcement, requiring Minnesota to participate in ICE roundups, end certain “sanctuary city” protections, and allow ICE agents direct access to state penitentiaries for rounding up undocumented inmates. The specifics of the agreement remain unclear.
