Minneapolis ¨C U.S. President Donald Trump and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz struck a conciliatory note after a private phone call on Monday, in a sign the two sides want to defuse a crisis over the Trump-ordered deportation drive that has left two U.S. citizens dead in Minneapolis.
Trump and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey spoke by telephone on Monday as well, and their subsequent remarks were also upbeat, a change from weeks of vitriolic public exchanges.
Another sign of a thaw was confirmation from a senior Trump administration official that Gregory Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol official who has been a lightning rod for ?criticism from Democrats and civil liberties activists, will be leaving Minnesota along with some of the agents deployed with him.
