Minnesota's governor says federal immigration raids will likely end soon after talks with Trump officials, despite lingering concerns.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said Tuesday he expects the federal immigration enforcement operation in the state to end within days, following talks with top Trump administration officials. He described the deployment as an "occupation" and "retribution campaign," expressing cautious hope for a full withdrawal, though he emphasized a "trust but verify" approach. While about 2,300 federal agents remain after an initial surge of 3,000, Walz cited increased cooperation with local jails as a reason for the reduction. He called for joint investigations into two fatal shootings by federal officers and highlighted ongoing economic harm and fear among residents, despite signs of a shifting federal posture. The Department of Homeland Security did not comment.
