There's been a lot of tension both in Minnesota and in Washington after federal agents shot and killed U.S.

citizens.

There were protests and the fight over funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

Michelle, let me play you a clip of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz after Homan's announcement.

Did the backlash to the administration's policy play a role in the end of the surge?

How have Democrats responded to the announcement that the operation is ending?

The governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, also noted that local businesses suffered, as the journal has also reported.

What is the economic impact expected to be after immigration agents leave?

That was WSJ reporter Michelle Hackman.

Thanks, Michelle.

In Washington, Senate Democrats blocked a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security.

They said negotiations with Republicans to put new restrictions on immigration enforcement hadn't made enough progress.

The failed vote now puts the department on the verge of a shutdown.

A short-term funding measure expires after tomorrow.

To understand where the Senate goes from here, I put in a quick call to Lindsay Wise, a journal reporter covering Congress, who was still in the Senate after the vote.

In other political news, Gail Slater, the Justice Department's top antitrust official, is leaving her job.

During her 11 months in the role, she clashed with senior officials who sometimes were in favor of more lenient oversight of mergers.

Her departure leaves a leadership vacuum while big cases are going on against major U.S.

companies like Google, Live Nation, Apple, and Visa.

Slater had lost the trust of Attorney General Pam Bondi and other top leaders.
