"Given this increase in unprecedented collaboration, and as a result of the need for less law enforcement officers to do this work in a safer environment, I have announced, effective immediately, we will draw down 700 people effective today 700 law enforcement personnel, Homan said. He said reforms made since his arrival have included consolidating ICE and CBP under a single chain of command. He said Trump fully intends to achieve mass deportations during this administration, and immigration enforcement actions will continue every day throughout this country."
"About 3,000 immigration enforcement agents are currently believed to be in Minnesota as part of Trump's enforcement operations. The announcement comes after Homan was sent to Minnesota at the end of January in response to widespread protests over immigration enforcement and the killing of Renee Nicole Good on January 7 by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent and Alex Pretti on January 24 by a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer, both in Minneapolis."
A decision was made to draw down 700 immigration enforcement personnel from Minnesota while enforcement operations will continue across the state. The drawdown followed new cooperation agreements with local authorities related to detaining individuals at county jails. About 3,000 immigration enforcement agents are currently present in Minnesota as part of enforcement operations. The enforcement surge was prompted by widespread protests and two killings in Minneapolis in January, involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement and US Customs and Border Protection officers. Reforms have consolidated ICE and CBP under a single chain of command and the administration intends to pursue mass deportations and daily enforcement actions nationwide.
