Conservative immigration experts split on whether Trump is 'backing down' in MN ICE fight
Every delay has consequences.
Conservative immigration experts were split on whether President Trump was "backing down" after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said the president told him he was considering reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota after they went into the state to enforce immigration law.
In addition to reported plans to retreat from Minnesota, the top border patrol official leading deportation operations around the country, including in Minnesota, will be reassigned back to his former duties as chief of border patrol in the El Centro, California sector as of currently, Fox News' Bill Melugin reported..
"If the Trump Administration accedes to Minnesota's unreasonable, unlawful demands, it will have surrendered the rule of law to thugs and brigands. Lawlessness is a choice and it's not a choice that the Trump administration should make, or support in any way," Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) Executive Director Dale Wilcox told Fox News Digital.

"I didn't think that's what Trump is saying – rather, based on his Truth Social post, he was saying ICE won't have to do at-large arrests if Minnesota changes its sanctuary policies and allows ICE into the jails and prisons to take custody of illegals once the locals have finished with them," Krikorian told Fox News Digital. "That's not ending enforcement – that's returning enforcement to the ways it's always been done and the way it's being done even now in non-sanctuary jurisdictions."
On Monday, President Trump said that "Tim Walz called [him] with the request to work together," calling it a "very good call" in a post on his platform Truth social.
"I told Governor Walz that I would have Tom Homan call him, and that what we are looking for are any and all Criminals that they have in their possession. The Governor, very respectfully, understood that, and I will be …
