The Trump administration plans to halt billions of dollars in federal funding for social services programs in five states led by Democrats following allegations of fraud.

The children of slain Minnesota state lawmaker Melissa Hortman are urging President Donald Trump to remove a post on Truth Social that promotes a conspiracy theory alleging the state's governor, Tim Walz, was involved in Hortman’s death.

The Department of Homeland Security says it has launched in Minnesota what it's calling the largest immigration enforcement operation ever carried out by the agency.

President Donald Trump amplified the unsubstantiated claim that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ordered a state lawmaker’s assassination. In June, a gunman attacked Minnesota lawmakers, shooting and killing state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and shooting and injuring state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette.

The Trump administration has begun deploying upwards of 2,000 federal agents to the Twin Cities as part of a 30-day surge that seeks to escalate a federal immigration crackdown and growing fraud investigations,
