Minneapolis Faces Federal Intervention After Protests Erupt Over ICE Killings

Minneapolis is under increased federal scrutiny after protests erupted following the deaths of two protesters at the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. U.S. President Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, arrived in the city this week, vowing to "regain law and order" amidst the unrest, according to Euronews. The protests, which involved thousands of people, were sparked by the killings and the Trump administration's broader immigration crackdown.

Homan stated that he had been "on the ground since Monday" to address the situation, as reported by Euronews. The surge in protests led to businesses shuttering and local leaders openly challenging the federal government's immigration policies. The specific actions Homan plans to take to "restore law and order" were not detailed.
