Immigration chief at centre of Trump’s crackdown set to leave Minneapolis

(Ana Faguy – BBC) A top US immigration official is expected to leave the US city of Minneapolis in what may mark a shift in the White House’s tone after the fatal shooting of a second US citizen by federal officers over the weekend. As Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino and some immigration agents leave, President Donald Trump’s border tsar Tom Homan will begin leading on-the-ground efforts in city after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti on Saturday escalated tensions. Trump’s decision may indicate the administration’s interest in walking back more aggressive federal action in his nationwide immigration crackdown. Despite the announcement, online tracking shows immigration raids have continued.
