US EditionTrump's Border Czar Says 'Small' Security Force Will Remain in Minnesota After Enforcement Drawdown
More than 1,000 ICE agents have left Minnesota's Twin Cities as part of the drawdown following two fatal shootings and growing criticism of Operation Metro Surge.
- Tom Homan, White House border czar, said Sunday that more than 1,000 immigration agents have left Minnesota's Twin Cities and hundreds more will depart during ICE Operation Metro Surge drawdown.
- Homan said Thursday that a significant drawdown was underway and would continue this week after the shooting deaths of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti prompted changes.
- Investigations will persist into fraud claims and the Cities Church protest, and departing officers will report back or be reassigned, while enforcement continues in the Twin Cities and nationwide.
- With no firm timetable, Homan said a `small` security force will stay temporarily to protect agents and `respond when our agents are out and they get surrounded by agitators and things got out of control`, and he added, `We'll get back to the original footprint.`
- With lawmakers returning to St. Paul on Tuesday, Feb. 17, Homan said future deployments `depend on the situation` while DHS called it its largest enforcement effort and successful.
