Trump says federal agents can use “softer touch” in enforcement

President Trump says federal agents engaged in immigration enforcement need to use a “softer touch.” In response to the ongoing unrest in Minnesota and cooperation from state and local officials, the administration is drawing down the number of ICE and Border Patrol officers. President Trump told NBC News that ordered the removal of 700 federal agents from the state. Asked about lessons learned from Minnesota, the president said he learned that “we can use a little bit of a softer touch. But,” he added, “you still have to be tough.”
