US EditionICE officers in Minnesota directed not to interact with 'agitators' in new orders: Report
ICE limits enforcement to immigrants with criminal records and avoids agitators following two fatal shootings, aiming to reduce tensions and focus on targeted arrests in Minnesota.
- On Jan. 29, 2026, Tom Homan was scheduled to give his first public update at 7 a.m. in Minneapolis after taking over Operation Metro Surge from Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino.
- After two fatal shootings by federal agents earlier this month, state and local leaders, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, sued the Department of Homeland Security to halt ICE operations amid protests fueled by video of Alex Pretti's confrontation with agents.
- Shifting tactics, Homan said he will 'draw down' agents in Minnesota with 'more agents in the jail, less agents in the street,' focusing on targeted enforcement against public-safety threats and enforcing zero tolerance for unprofessional conduct.
- As a result, DHS confirmed two immigration officers were placed on administrative leave, U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz found ICE violated at least 96 court orders, and President Donald Trump warned Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey he was 'playing with fire.'
- Legal scrutiny centers on Operation PARRIS, affecting 5,600 refugees, as Sen. Susan Collins posted `There are currently no ongoing or planned large-scale ICE operations here` and Democrats call for reforms.
