A person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press that Bovino is among the federal agents leaving Minneapolis. The mayor said he asked Trump in a phone call to end the immigration enforcement surge, and Trump agreed the present situation cannot continue.

The case has implications for other states that have been or could become targets of ramped-up federal immigration enforcement operations.
