Homan said that means more access to prisons and jails, which would mean fewer agents on the streets.

Homan also said the administration will prioritize the arrest of migrants with criminal records or who pose a public safety threat.

And it's important to note that the administration has said this all along and yet has arrested a bunch of undocumented immigrants who have not committed crimes.

So it will be important to see whether, in fact, there will be fewer collateral arrests in Minnesota from now on.

Yes, and that's something that Homan acknowledged yesterday in his press conference as well and something that the administration of Governor Tim Walz has maintained all along as well.

Okay, unusual.

What do you hear from people who've been protesting?

Well, they have a lot of questions.

And, you know, after what they've gone through over the past month, people here are super skeptical about anything the federal government says.

I mean, President Trump said last night there would not be a pullback of federal agents in Minnesota.

And we continue to see immigration agents making arrests.

So the fear continues.

And many people say even if ICE hypothetically leaves the state, let's say tomorrow,

there will be lingering effects.

For example, it's the end of the month, and there are many immigrants who have not left their homes in weeks, or their primary breadwinner has been arrested by ICE, so they could miss rent.

Now, mutual aid groups have been paying for some of those bills, but they're not sure how long they can keep it up, and they're calling on the governor to implement an eviction moratorium.

So, you know, many residents in Minneapolis are, I would say, cautiously optimistic, and they have vowed to continue to protest until this surge ends.

Okay, so what are they going to do next, the protesters, I mean?

Yeah, there is another general strike planned.

Exactly a week ago, there was a big statewide strike here in Minnesota, similar to what's expected here today.
