Emergency lawsuits from immigrants seeking release from detention have declined in recent weeks, as the Trump administration has, at least for the moment, pulled back slightly from the aggressive, military-style immigration enforcement it has carried out in Minneapolis and cities across the country.
The administration announced in February it was drawing down its Minnesota operation, and the White House moved this month to oust Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who oversaw the surge there, which resulted in agents fatally shooting two U.S. citizens and prompted widespread protests. No cities have been hit with a new major crackdown since.
