At the peak of the crackdown, carloads of masked immigration officers were a common sight in the streets of Minneapolis, while thousands of people were being arrested every week in Texas, Florida and California.

Arrests were nearly as high the next month. But the killings by federal agents of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis and the subsequent shake-up of top immigration officials were quickly followed by a nearly 12% drop in arrests since early February.
