The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, announced this Monday, 26, that some federal immigration agents will soon leave his city, after a conversation with the President of the United States, Donald Trump, who praised the discussion stating that “a lot of progress is being made”.
Frey said he asked Trump in a phone call to end increased immigration enforcement and the Republican agreed that the current situation cannot continue.
The mayor also stated that some agents will begin to leave on Tuesday, the 27th. Frey pointed out that he will continue to push for others involved in Operation Metro Surge to also leave.
Among the agents expected to leave the city is Border Patrol senior commander Greg Bovino, according to a person familiar with the matter. Trump sent his border czar to Minnesota to run much of the administration’s immigration enforcement efforts.
Bovino was at the center of the administration’s aggressive increase in oversight in cities across the country. His departure marks a significant public shift in federal law enforcement’s stance amid growing outrage over the fatal shooting that led to the death of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents.
