- Trump criticised Stephen Miller’s approach but sometimes urged tougher enforcement.
- No agents had been charged over the two Minneapolis shootings.

## Summary

According to the Wall Street Journal, Melania Trump told her husband that people she knew were being detained and deported by ICE. Donald Trump then began telling aides that Stephen Miller, the architect of his administration’s mass deportation drive, had gone too far, though he also sometimes urged the operation to intensify.

The report describes growing political and public pressure over raids affecting workers without criminal records, as well as outrage after two US citizens were fatally shot by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. Trump was concerned about videos of the shootings and sent Tom Homan to the city; Miller and other officials defended the officers. More than nine months later, no agent had been charged over either death.
