Walz’s office confirmed in a statement that he held a “productive” call with Trump on Monday.

His office said Trump agreed to speak to the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that "state investigators are able to conduct independent investigations into the federal officers' shootings of Pretti and Renee Nicole Good.

"The President also agreed to look into reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota and working with the state in a more coordinated fashion on immigration enforcement regarding violent criminals," Walz's office said.

But in a Wall Street Journal op-ed Monday, Walz pushed back on the White House's claims that Minnesota wasn't providing any cooperation on law enforcement.

"The Minnesota Department of Corrections honors all federal and local detainers by notifying Immigration and Customs Enforcement when a person committed to its custody isn’t a U.S. citizen. There is not a single documented case of the department’s releasing someone from state prison without offering to ensure a smooth transfer of custody," he wrote.

Walz's statement also signals a more positive tone than the governor's previous statements on Trump.

On Sunday, Walz criticized Trump for having "underestimated" the people of Minnesota.

“What’s the plan, Donald Trump? What is the plan?” Walz said during a news conference. “What do we need to do to get these federal agents out of our state? If fear, violence and chaos is what you wanted from us, then you clearly underestimated the people of this state and nation."

The White House did not immediately return a request for comment on more information about the call.

Trump's post marks a noticeable shift in the way he has referred to Walz, whom he has repeatedly criticized for not cooperating with his administration.
