White House border czar Tom Homan announced Feb. 12 that the Trump administration will conclude its recent immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, citing progress made through expanded coordination with state and local authorities.

Speaking during a press briefing, Homan said he had recommended ending the operation and that President Donald Trump agreed with the proposal.

“I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude,” Homan said. “A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue into the next week.”

The enforcement surge was part of broader federal efforts to address immigration violations in targeted regions across the country. Homan said the Minnesota initiative achieved “an unprecedented level of coordination” with law enforcement agencies statewide.

He did not provide specific figures regarding arrests or removals but emphasized that collaboration between federal immigration authorities and local officials played a central role in the operation’s execution.

The administration has framed similar enforcement surges as part of its strategy to strengthen interior immigration enforcement and increase cooperation between federal agencies and state partners.

With the Minnesota operation winding down, officials indicated that resources may be redirected to other areas as part of ongoing national enforcement priorities.
