Some Border Patrol agents are leaving Minneapolis, Minn., after the deaths of two local residents at the hands of federal immigration enforcement agents, which Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw (D) said is a “great first step” to deescalating tensions.

Greg Bovino, commander-at-large of the U.S. Border Patrol, is expected to depart Minnesota on Tuesday along with some of his agents, according to multiple reports.

“That that is a great first step. I talked to Mayor Jacob Frey about 20-30 minutes ago, and he told me that he thinks that they’re going to be some agents leaving as early as tomorrow,” Vetaw said during a Monday night appearance on NewsNation’s “The Hill.”

“He told me that he spoke with the president and actually had a really good conversation with the president and is feeling good about how we move forward as a city, as a state, and so he I left the conversation feeling extremely optimistic,” she added.

The president said White House border czar Tom Homan would be sent to Minneapolis to oversee local operations and report to him directly after some videos showing federal agents tackling protesters spread on social media.
