medium article 2 min

The Trump administration, led by border czar Tom Homan, is immediately withdrawing approximately 700 federal immigration enforcement officers from Minnesota. This reduction, about a quarter of the total deployed in the state, follows increased cooperation from state and local officials in turning over arrested immigrants. Homan stated that a larger pullout depends on the cessation of interference with federal agents. Roughly 2,000 officers will remain in Minnesota after this initial drawdown. The administration has long sought cooperation from local jurisdictions to facilitate the arrest of immigrants, particularly those deemed criminal. Homan considers the ICE operation in Minnesota successful due to the number of individuals taken off the streets.
