January 22, 2026, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA: U.S. Vice President JD VANCE, visiting Minneapolis on Thursday amid growing clashes between federal agents and anti-ICE protesters, said President Trump had given him a 'directive' to 'meet these guys halfway' on reducing tensions, referring to local officials. He said Trump had told him 'work with them so that we can make these immigration enforcement leer más operations successful without endangering our ICE officers, and so that we can turn down the chaos a little bit, at least, I think a lot, actually.” Local and state officials have strongly opposed how the immigration enforcement surge in the city was being carried out. While he repeated calls to all involved to 'turn down the temperature' -- even conceding that federal agents had made 'mistakes' -- Vance appeared to blame local and state leaders for not doing enough and called on city police to work with federal officials on immigration policy enforcement. leer menos
