economictimes.indiatimes.com

A Trump administration immigration crackdown in Minnesota significantly disrupted federal investigations into serious crimes, leading to a sharp decline in gun and drug prosecutions. The operation diverted agents and caused prosecutors to quit, hobbling the U.S. Attorney's Office. New gun and drug prosecutions stalled, with eight charged between January and April compared to 77 last year. This shift reflects a national trend of prioritizing immigration enforcement over traditional crime fighting, impacting public safety efforts.
