Trump says administration could use ‘softer touch’ on immigration

President Trump ordered withdrawal of 700 federal immigration agents from Minnesota after two deadly shootings, signaling a shift to less aggressive enforcement amid bipartisan tensions.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump told NBC News in an interview with Tom Llamas, `I learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch` on immigration enforcement.
  • Following immigration crackdown operations in Minnesota, investigations continue into the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, with local leaders criticizing the federal efforts.
  • Border czar Tom Homan announced he will withdraw 700 immigration and Border Patrol agents from Minneapolis, and said the FBI is investigating both incidents, noting increased coordination.
  • The House passed legislation today that ends the partial government shutdown while Trump said he ordered the pullback of 2,000 agents, aiming to restore pre-operation levels.
  • Trump balanced the change by saying `but you still have to be tough` while noting he had "great conversations" with Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey; officials expect progress to rise in the coming weeks.
