Border czar Tom Homan on Thursday said President Donald Trump has agreed with his proposal to conclude a federal immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota.
“We have greatly reduced the number of targets for enforcement action” in the Twin Cities region as a result of the influx of thousands of officers from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection agencies, Homan said at a press conference.
Homan last week had announced a drawdown of 700 agents from the area encompassing Minneapolis and St. Paul, leaving about 2,000 in place.
The total withdrawal “will continue to the next week,” he said Thursday morning in Minneapolis.
