US EditionDHS Operation Metro Surge Makes More Than 4,000 Arrests in Minnesota
Operation Metro Surge led to over 4,000 arrests of undocumented immigrants, many with criminal records, amid a federal drawdown of 700 agents as threats persisted, officials said.
- Last week, the White House celebrated Operation Metro Surge for arresting 4,000 illegal aliens with criminal records in Minnesota, framing it as removing threats from U.S. communities.
- Last week, officials moved to replace Greg Bovino, former top Border Patrol official, with Tom Homan, administration `border czar`, following dissatisfaction over how Kristi Noem, Department of Homeland Security Secretary, handled Alex Pretti's death.
- At the operation's peak, roughly 3,000 federal immigration enforcement agents and over 2,400 Department of Homeland Security agents were deployed to the North Star State, with 700 agents leaving Minnesota on Wednesday.
- The administration signaled that President Trump fully intends to achieve mass deportations, with Homan warning all illegal immigrants are on notice.
