Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said Monday that some federal immigration agents will begin withdrawing from the city on Tuesday, an effort aimed at lowering sky-high tensions after federal agents fatally shot two U.S. citizens in recent weeks amid the Trump administration's aggressive immigration operation.
Frey said he spoke with President Donald Trump on Monday afternoon to express the need for Operation Metro Surge to end.
"The president agreed that the present situation cannot continue," Frey said in a social media statement.
"Some federal agents will begin leaving the area tomorrow, and I will continue pushing for the rest involved in this operation to go."
