US EditionUS immigration officials working on plan to reduce number of agents in Minneapolis, Trump border czar says
Tom Homan aims to reduce ICE and CBP presence in Minnesota by prioritizing public safety threats and relying on state cooperation to notify ICE of jail releases, with nearly 3,000 agents currently deployed.
- White House border czar Tom Homan said federal immigration officials are developing a plan to reduce the number of immigration enforcement officers in Minneapolis — a move that would be tied to increased cooperation from state and local authorities.
- Homan spoke publicly for the first time since arriving in Minnesota after an ICE-related fatal shooting of a protester, expressing that fewer officers may be needed on the streets if local jails notify federal authorities about people eligible for removal.

- Homan was sent by U.S. President Donald Trump to take control of ICE operations in Minnesota after weeks of disorder and chaos, including clashes that led to the deaths of two U.S. citizens.
