According to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Homan is preparing to remove ICE agents from the state within days.

As for other ICE reform efforts, there are just a few short days left for members of Congress to negotiate.

If there's no deal, immigration enforcement would carry on, but DHS agencies like FEMA, the Coast Guard, and TSA would face a shutdown.

As Congress scrutinizes the tactics of ICE, polling suggests growing public anxiety about the presence of officers in towns and cities.

A recent national NPR poll found that 65 percent of those surveyed said that ICE enforcement has gone too far.

And a Reuters poll found that approval for Trump's immigration policy has been declining in recent months.

The president promised to bring border crossings down from the record levels seen under the Biden administration.

An analysis from Pew last week showed migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border were now at their lowest levels in 50 years.

But some Republicans have raised concerns that ICE's heavy presence might be erasing what they see as policy wins for target voters.

Republican Senator Tom Tillis warned that the agency's conduct was starting to hurt the party.

He said this to reporters last month.

Most of the coverage has focused on mainly Democratic-run cities where ICE protests and incidents have developed.

But there are also signs of conflicted feelings in some smaller towns, like Freud in northeast Montana, which is about 50 miles from the U.S.-Canada border.

It's home to fewer than 200 people.

That's Nora Mabee, a reporter for the Montana Free Press.

She told us about the case of Freud resident Roberto Orozco Ramirez.

In 2009, he'd been removed from the U.S.

because Border Patrol claimed he had gang affiliations.

He returned to the U.S.

and was arrested last month for reentering and threatening a federal officer.
