US EditionTrump Administration to Pull 700 Immigration Officers From Minneapolis, Homan Says
Tom Homan cited local cooperation in immigrant arrests for the immediate withdrawal of 700 federal officers amid ongoing efforts to reduce tensions and violence.
- On Wednesday morning, Tom Homan, White House border czar, ordered an immediate drawdown of 700 federal officers from Minnesota, citing cooperation from local and state officials.
- Protests escalated last month after immigration agents shot and killed Renee Good, mother of three, and ICU nurse Alex Pretti while ICE and CBP carried out Operation Metro Surge.
- After meeting local leaders, Homan said, `If we get these agreements in place, that means less agents on the street,` and Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Monday that Minneapolis officers will receive body-worn cameras with nationwide expansion planned.
- The drawdown removes officers who were part of Operation Metro Surge, reducing the Minnesota federal enforcement presence and affecting its focus on undocumented immigrants with criminal records.
