Trump Orders Federal Agents to Avoid Protests in Democrat Cities

US President Donald Trump has instructed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to avoid intervening in protests occurring in Democrat-run cities unless local authorities request federal assistance. This directive follows weeks of unrest in Minneapolis, where two fatal incidents involving federal agents have occurred. Protests across the US demand the withdrawal of federal immigration enforcement agents, with activists criticizing ICE's role and demanding accountability. Trump emphasized that federal buildings must be protected but also called for cooperation between local and federal authorities to ease tensions. The situation remains volatile as protesters demand a full withdrawal of federal forces to end ongoing demonstrations.
