A combination of litigation and political action helped force Trump to back down in Minnesota. This result adds to already extensive evidence that exploiting synergy between the two can be effective strategy for curbing abuses of government power.

How Trump's withdrawal from Minneapolis is being covered abroad.

In Le Monde, the lead French daily, the homepage article starts with:

"Two people dead, thousands arrested, two cities shaken, and Donald Trump defeated."

www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

"Deux morts, des milliers de personnes arrêtées, deux villes ébranlées et Donald Trump défait. Ainsi s’achève l’opération anti-immigration « Metro surge », conduite par l’Etat fédéral dans les « twin cities », les villes jumelles de Minneapolis et Saint Paul, depuis début décembre. Tom Homan, le « tsar des frontières » de la Maison Blanche, a annoncé jeudi 12 février le retrait prochain des troupes de l’ICE (Immigration and customs enforcement, la police de l’immigration) et de la CBP (Customs and border protection, l’équivalent des douanes)."

The end of the surge of ICE, CBP & other federal agents was finally announced. The cost of the "operation" includes: two deaths, many injuries, millions of dollars, lost economic activity, community members kidnapped, detained & deported.
