Trump's Border Czar Says 'Small' Security Force Will Remain in Minnesota After Enforcement Drawdown
- 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.
