Hundreds more immigration officers headed to Minneapolis, Noem says, as tensions flare after fatal ICE shooting

[Dulcinea]

(CNN) Hundreds of Border Patrol officers are mobilizing to bolster the president’s crackdown on immigration in snowy Minneapolis, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday, as tensions between federal law enforcement and local counterparts flare after an ICE-involved shooting last week left a mother of three dead.

Videos of the incident are still emerging, and there’s more to be learned, but the surge is the latest development in the monthslong spat between the Democratic-led city and the federal government after President Donald Trump first ramped up operations against Somali Minnesotans in December.

Officials in the North Star State have continued to echo each other’s calls for immigration officials to cooperate with local law enforcement and leave – which has prompted biting rhetoric in return from federal officials.

way. The doubling down makes me think that some of these people MUST have signed, blanket pardons already in the possession.

Laughing my @ss off. It's 58 outside. I have the furnace set at 70°, and I am inside, wrapped in a lap blanket, freezing. Send our Border Patrol up to Minneapolis, lol! They will either quit or freeze to death within 24 hours.
