The immigration crackdown in Minnesota that led to mass detentions, protests and two deaths is coming to an end, Tom Homan said Thursday. Federal authorities say the sweeps focused on the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area have led to the arrest of more than 4,000 people.
Homan said last week that 700 federal officers would leave Minnesota immediately, but that still left more than 2,000 on Minnesota’s streets.
The Agriculture Secretary says U.S. schools could receive new rules on school lunches in coming weeks. Last month Brooke Rollins and HHS secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. announced new dietary guidelines, which back away from long-standing advice to limit saturated fats.
Those guidelines could have a big impact on the U.S. school districts that receive federal funding for school meals and must follow rules set by the Agriculture Department.
One person was injured in a multi-vehicle crash involving federal agents in St. Paul’s Cathedral Hill neighborhood Wednesday, according to St. Paul police.
Federal agents were pursuing a person in a vehicle when the fleeing vehicle crashed around 9:39 a.m., according to a press release from SPPD. The person who was being pursued sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital.
