An Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorney detailed to Minnesota to help handle the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities has been removed from her post after telling a judge that the job “sucks” because of the crushing workload and the government’s apparent inability to comply with court orders.

“I learned that maybe we could use a little bit of a softer touch. But you still have to be tough,” Trump told NBC News.

Two deaths, nationwide protests and falling approval ratings have turned a sanctuary city standoff into a potential political reckoning.

US President Donald Trump suggested that a "softer touch" may be needed on immigration, as his administration said 700 federal officers would be pulled from Minnesota but that mass deportations would not stop.

Remarks by a prosecutor opened a revealing window onto how the courts in the state are buckling under the weight of a deluge of cases arising from the Trump administration’s campaign.

The Trump administration is attempting to reset strained relations even as its enforcement operation continues.

At least 8 states have either prohibited or set restrictions against local police and sheriff’s offices entering into 287(g) partnerships.

A bipartisan agreement on new restrictions for federal immigration operations in the next two weeks will be exceedingly difficult despite rare negotiations between Democrats and President Donald Trump.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said federal officials in Minneapolis will begin wearing body cameras "immediately," after the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens during the crackdown in Minneapolis.
