US EditionMinneapolis Operation Will End, Homan Says
DHS shifts from city-specific crackdowns to targeting immigrants with serious criminal records, ending Minnesota’s Operation Metro Surge after deploying over 2,400 agents, officials said.
- On Thursday, Tom Homan, border czar, announced the Trump administration will end Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota and multiple federal agents have been pulled out.
- Moving away from city-based raids, DHS officials said ICE will refocus on arresting immigrants with serious criminal records, while Border Patrol agents remain focused on the border.
- Violence escalated when the administration deployed over 2,400 DHS agents to Minnesota, sparking protests after demonstrators Renee Good and Alex Pretti were shot by ICE; the FBI is investigating both incidents.
- Officials said a significant drawdown is underway and will continue into next week, while Minnesota lawmakers still lack clarity on detainee numbers and a federal judge ordered DHS to provide attorney access.
- Activists say the withdrawal may be a psychological tactic, while schools in Minneapolis offered virtual learning and local residents report fear and lasting medical impacts; oversight continues with 19 investigations pending, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said yesterday.
