White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt held a briefing with reporters amid the ongoing surge of immigration operations and protests in Minnesota.
Leavitt laid out the Trump Administration’s demands for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and other leaders in the state.
MORE INFORMATION:
More than 3,000 federal immigration officers are part of the immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, a Department of Justice attorney told a federal judge on Monday.
Brantley Mayers, counsel to the DOJ’s assistant attorney general, told U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez that at least 2,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and at least 1,000 Customs and Border Patrol officers were part of the operation, and that he would provide her with an exact number later.
The state also says U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Gov. Tim Walz over the weekend with three requests: she wants information on Medicaid and food programs; she wants the state’s sanctuary policies to be repealed, and she wants the DOJ’s civil rights division to be given access to the state’s voter roles. Attorneys for the state called this a shakedown letter.
