White House border czar Tom Homan says immigration enforcement in Minnesota will shift to more targeted operations focusing on those with criminal records as federal agents remain in place amid intense backlash following fatal shootings during previous sweeps. Homan said a drawdown of federal agents could happen if state and local officials cooperate with ICE and allow access to jails for safer custody transfers and pick-ups.

In a powerful retaliatory strike, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ on May 7, targeting terrorist infrastructure across the border. Following the heightened tensions, Union Home Minister Amit Shah spoke to J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, sources confirmed. Shah remains in close coordination with the J&K Lieutenant Governor and the Director General of the BSF, directing forces to prioritise civilian safety in border areas. Meanwhile, CM Omar Abdullah reached the state secretariat on the morning of May 7 to monitor developments closely.
