Federal Authorities to Reduce Law Enforcement Presence in Minnesota Amid Immigration Crackdown

Federal authorities will immediately withdraw 700 law enforcement personnel from Minnesota, according to Border Czar Tom Homan. The announcement on Wednesday came a day after Minnesota Department of Corrections Commissioner Paul Schnell told CBS News that there had been "conversations" with the federal government, including with people who report to Homan, regarding a possible de-escalation in the state.

The reduction follows a monthslong immigration crackdown in Minnesota known as Operation Metro Surge. Homan stated that approximately 2,000 agents will remain in the state after the drawdown. However, Schnell indicated that details on the de-escalation remained "sketchy," with no immediate signs of a reduction in federal forces.

The immigration crackdown in Minnesota has been a source of tension, particularly following the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal agents in January. Alex Pretti, 37, an ICU nurse, was shot and killed on Jan. 24 in Minneapolis, with his death ruled a homicide by the county medical examiner, according to ABC News. The incident followed the fatal shooting of Renee Good, 37, on Jan. 7. Protests and clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement occurred in the aftermath of Pretti's death.

President Trump addressed the situation, stating his administration could use "a little bit of a softer touch" on immigration, but emphasized the need to "still have to be tough," according to NBC.

The withdrawal of federal personnel comes as other news unfolded across the globe. The FBI is sending additional agents and experts to Pima County, Arizona, to assist in the search for Nancy Guthrie, 84, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, who was reportedly abducted from her home early Sunday, according to ABC News.

In other news, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, has moved out of his royal residence at Windsor's Royal Lodge and will now live permanently on the king's privately owned Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England, ABC News confirmed.

Meanwhile, the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics experienced a brief power outage during the opening curling competitions on Wednesday, halting play moments after matches began, according to Fox News.

DEVELOPING: Period Blood Test May Replace Cervical Screening!

A new study suggests that testing period blood for HPV, the virus that causes cervical cancer, could offer a less invasive and more accessible screening method compared to traditional Pap smears. Experts are optimistic about the potential of this at-home test to improve screening rates, though further research is needed to confirm its accuracy and effectiveness. If validated, this approach could significantly reduce barriers to cervical cancer screening and improve early detection.
