Immigration operations continue in Minnesota on Monday. Here are the latest updates. 

Recently, a ProPublica report identified Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez as the two federal agents who fired shots during the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti. DHS would not confirm the names of the agents involved. 

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump says starting Monday the federal government will begin cutting funding to sanctuary cities and states, including Minnesota. However, no details have been announced and states are already taking legal action to block the cuts. 

Plus, Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, returned to Minnesota Sunday after a judge ordered their release from an immigrant detention center in Texas. The arrest of the 5-year-old boy in a bunny hat sparked outrage after a photo showed him in ICE custody. The family’s attorney says they are in the country legally as they pursue a claim for asylum.
