White House border czar Tom Homan says Operation Metro Surge, which resulted in the arrests of thousands of immigrants and the deaths of two Minneapolis residents, is ending.
Homan said Thursday that what’s been described as the largest immigration enforcement deployment in U.S. history will wind down in the state over the next week with the withdrawal of thousands of federal agents.
- Gov. Tim Walz says Minnesota has endured an “unprecedented federal invasion.”
- Homan said a significant drawdown of federal agents is already happening this week.
- Local officials are guardedly optimistic about Homan’s announcement.
- Federal prosecutors are looking to drop charges against two men accused of assaulting a federal immigration agent.
- A judge ordered the federal government to guarantee detainees at the Whipple Federal Building certain rights, including access to attorneys and private phone calls.
