The vice president’s trip comes as Democratic leaders in Minnesota have called for federal immigration officials to leave the state.

So Donald Trump’s decision to swarm the city with some 3,000 federal immigration officers would seem a boon for the hotels and restaurants, at least. But some of the people who clean the agents’ rooms or pour them drinks are vulnerable to being scooped up themselves.

President Donald Trump demanded that ICE publicize arrests of alleged criminal immigrants, citing "thousands of vicious animals" in Minnesota.

Jason Houser argued that no one in law enforcement believes the administration's approach to the agency is in the interest of public safety.

Democrats could find themselves debating whether to reform ICE or abolish the agency altogether, a question some fear could backfire on the party.

Two incidents involving immigration agents at Minneapolis schools in recent weeks have prompted teachers to mobilize.

The number of ICE detainees exceeded 70,000 for the first time in the deportation agency's 23-year history, according to internal DHS data obtained by CBS News.

ICE's budget hovered around $10 billion for years. But President Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress are taking the agency's funding to unprecedented levels.

One of the federal officials leading the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Minnesota has defended the actions of government officers amid ongoing backlash from Twin Cities communities and widespread footage of possible rights violations, saying agents remain "professional, focused, courteous and committed to the mission."
