News when you want it. With Bloomberg News Now, I'm Amy Morris. White House Border Czar Tom Homan says the immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota is ending.
In success that has been made arresting public safety threats and other priorities since this surge operation began, as well as the unprecedented levels of coordination we have obtained from state officials and local law enforcement, I have proposed and President Trump has concurred that this surge operation conclude.
Homan says a small footprint of personnel will remain for a while to close out and transition full command and control back to the field office.
Through targeted enforcement operations based on reasonable suspicion and prioritizing safety and security, ICE will continue to identify, arrest, and remove illegal aliens that pose a risk to public safety, like we've done for years.
The decision marks a major step to de-escalate an operation that sparked protests and congressional scrutiny over the Trump administration's tactics. Minnesota officials testified before the Senate Homeland Security Committee about President Trump's immigration enforcement surge. Chairman Rand Paul questioned Minnesota's Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minnesota's Republican House floor leader Harry Niska.
If ICE called the local Minneapolis police and said, we want to arrest this person, will the Minneapolis police help? I think so, yes. Do you really think that it is happening? They're cooperating? Yes, I do, Senator. Representative Niska, do you think the local police are cooperating?
No, the public statements of Minneapolis officials have been that Minneapolis police will not assist in enforcing immigration.
Ellison and Paul Schnell, the commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Corrections, highlighted the impact of the administration's immigration surge in the state. The Kremlin has set out proposals for a wide-ranging economic partnership with the Trump administration, including Russia's return to the dollar settlement system. The proposal details seven points where Russian and U.S. economic interests could converge, including joint investments in natural gas and critical raw materials. The plan would be a reversal of Kremlin policy. White House Trade Advisor Peter Navarro says the North American trade pact has significant flaws, but he sidestepped any questions about whether the U.S. would leave the pact.
USMCA has some significant flaws and it's going to be reevaluated in July. The great Jameson Greer, our U.S. trade representative, will be taking the lead on that. But nothing ever happens in the White House without the commander in chief.
What recent changes are happening with ICE operations in Minnesota?
Navarro expressed worries about China shipping goods through Mexico and Canada, citing concerns about the trans-shipment of Chinese goods. Navarro also called for JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon to cap credit card interest rates. Diamond has said that President Trump's push for a 10% limit on credit card rates would spark an economic disaster in the U.S. White House Trade Advisor Peter Navarro was on Bloomberg surveillance. Republican Representative French Hill of Arkansas thinks the U.S. should renew its commitment to USMCA.
What we should be doing about trade is urging the President to renew USMCA with Canada and Mexico. It's a very important trade arrangement for the three countries. Progress is being made in working with the Canadians and the Mexicans.
Representative Hill was on Bloomberg surveillance. The Justice Department's top antitrust cop, Abigail Slater, has resigned. The White House requested her resignation just weeks before the agency is set to head to trial against Live Nation Entertainment in a bid to force it to sell off its ticketing arm, Ticketmaster.
