"We're very much in a trust but verify mode, Walz said. He added that he expected to hear more from the administration in the next day or so about the future of what he said has been an occupation and a retribution campaign against the state. While Walz said he's hopeful at the moment because every indication I have is that this thing is winding up, he added that things could change."
"Walz said he has no reason not to believe Homan's statement last week that 700 federal officers would leave Minnesota immediately, but the governor added that still left 2,300 on Minnesota's streets. Homan at the time cited an increase in unprecedented collaboration resulting in the need for fewer federal officers in Minnesota, including help from jails that hold inmates who could be deported."
Gov. Tim Walz expects the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota to end in days after assurances from top Trump administration officials. He said he spoke with border czar Tom Homan and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and remains in a trust-but-verify posture about the operation’s wind-down. Homan took over the Minnesota operation in late January after a second fatal shooting by federal officers and amid political backlash. Walz noted Homan had said 700 federal officers would leave immediately but that about 2,300 remained. Walz also indicated he expects cooperation on joint investigations into the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, though details were not provided and DHS did not comment.
