Trump and Gov. Walz Held a Productive Call
President Trump says he spoke with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on January 26 amid rising tensions over federal immigration enforcement activity in Minneapolis and surrounding areas. Walz described the call as “productive” and focused on coordination and reducing friction between state and federal officials. Both sides also discussed impartial investigations into recent shootings involving federal officers.

 Tom Homan Sent to Minnesota
In response to the standoff between federal agents and protesters — which followed recent deaths of residents during immigration enforcement actions — the Trump administration sent border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to take charge of the federal presence and negotiations with local leaders.

Possible Reduction in Federal Officers
Homan has signaled that federal immigration agents could be drawn down if cooperation with state and local authorities increases; about 700 officers are already being withdrawn, and more reductions may follow.

 Local Reaction and Ongoing Situation
Governor Walz has expressed hope that the federal immigration operations will end in the coming days — not weeks or months — as the two sides continue dialogue on how to manage enforcement while addressing community safety.
