Federal officials have announced an end to an immigration crackdown in Minnesota that led to mass detentions, protests and two deaths. Border czar Tom Homan made the announcement during a news conference Thursday. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched Operation Metro Surge on Dec. 1. Federal authorities say the sweeps focused on the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area have led to the arrest of more than 4,000 people. While the Trump administration has called those arrested “dangerous criminal illegal aliens,” many people with no criminal records, including children and U.S. citizens, have also been detained.

Mexico is sending two Navy ships with humanitarian aid to Cuba as tighter U.S. pressure worsens the island’s energy crisis. On Thursday, the ships carry large loads of food, hygiene supplies, and powdered milk. Mexico says one ship brings about 536 tons of items like rice, beans, canned fish, and oil. Mexico says the second ship carries over 277 tons of powdered milk. President Claudia Sheinbaum says Mexico ships aid while talks continue on oil supplies. U.S. President Donald Trump threatens tariffs on countries supplying oil to Cuba. Cuba reports blackouts and broad disruption from sanctions.

The Vatican has warned a breakaway traditionalist Catholic group that it risked renewed schism if it goes ahead with plans to consecrate new bishops without papal consent. Vatican doctrine office head Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández issued the warning during a meeting Thursday with superior general of the Society of St. Pius X the Rev. Davide Pagliarani. The meeting was scheduled after the Swiss-based society which celebrates the traditional Latin Mass announced plans to consecrate new bishops July 1 without papal consent. The Vatican said Fernández offered a new round of theological talks to regularize the SSPX’s status but only if it calls off the planned ceremony.
About 6 in 10 U.S. adults say President Donald Trump has “gone too far” in sending federal immigration agents into American cities, according to a new AP-NORC poll that suggests political independents are increasingly uncomfortable with his tactics. Views of Trump’s handling of immigration remained steady over the past month, with about 4 in 10 saying they approve of the president’s approach. But the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research also found that the Republican Party’s advantage on Trump’s signature political issue has shrunk since October. About 3 in 10 U.S. adults trust Republicans to do a better job handling immigration, while a similar share say the same of Democrats.
