US EditionTrump Administration to Pull 700 Immigration Officers From Minneapolis, Homan Says
The Trump administration will retain 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota after local cooperation enables a 700-officer drawdown, following weeks of protests and deadly confrontations.
- On Wednesday, February 4, 2026, White House border czar Tom Homan announced the Trump administration will withdraw 700 federal immigration officers from Minneapolis, leaving over 2,000 agents in the region.
- Citing `unprecedented` cooperation from Minnesota's county sheriffs and jails, Homan explained that this allowed ICE to take custody of illegal immigrants before release, prompting a drawdown of 700 federal agents.
- Operation Metro Surge expanded to roughly 3,000 officers, and Homan moved to unify ICE and CBP under one command last week, following his take-over from Gregory Bovino.
- Homan warned enforcement will continue nationwide, stressing President Donald Trump remains committed to mass deportations, while Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the reduction a step in the right direction but not de-escalation.
- Homan said a full withdrawal hinges on continued cooperation and an end to attacks, roadblocks, and interference after tensions rose following the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
