Minnesota Governor Tim Walz says he's had new conversations with White House Border Czar Tom Homan and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles about bringing the multi-month operation to a close.

Vance traveled to Minneapolis to hold a private roundtable with ICE leaders and local officials.
Vance says better cooperation with state and local authorities would calm tensions.

Vance also pushed back on claims that a five-year-old boy was detained to be used as bait to lure his immigrant father from a home for arrest.
Vance says agents were concerned about the child being left out in the cold.
