flag U.S. mayors and governors, including Republicans, clash with Trump over federal immigration actions and unauthorized National Guard deployments, citing threats to local autonomy and civil liberties.

flag In early 2026, U.S. mayors and governors from both parties report escalating tensions with President Donald Trump’s administration over federal immigration enforcement and the deployment of National Guard troops without local consent. flag The killing of two U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis intensified concerns, prompting leaders in cities like Denver and Minneapolis to prepare for potential federal overreach in schools, hospitals, and elections. flag While Trump claims cooperation, his push for federal control over elections and aggressive immigration actions have drawn bipartisan criticism, including from Republican figures like Sen. Rand Paul and Governors Phil Scott and Kevin Stitt. flag The administration replaced top immigration officials in Minneapolis and announced a partial troop reduction, but local leaders continue to reject the federal presence, calling it an “occupation.” The situation marks a significant shift in federal-state relations, raising alarms over constitutional boundaries and the erosion of local autonomy.
