Trump Administration Announces End to Surge of Immigration Agents in Minnesota
Tom Homan, the White House border czar, says the Trump administration is ending its monthslong surge of immigration agents in Minnesota. Roughly 3,000 agents flooded into the state for Operation Metro Surge. Gov. Tim Walz criticized the administration’s actions but shared cautious optimism.
“I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue through the next week.” “We are cautiously optimistic, as we’ve said, and that this surge of untrained, aggressive federal agents are going to leave Minnesota. They left us with deep damage, generational trauma. They left us with economic ruin, in some cases. They left us with many unanswered questions.” “President Trump didn’t send me here because the operations were being run and conducted perfectly. I came here to identify issues and implement solutions to improve our mission execution. We have a lot of work to do across this country to remove public safety risk — who shouldn’t even be in this country.”
