Homan Announces End to Federal Surge in Minnesota

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan announced on Thursday the end of the federal surge in Minnesota.

Homan touted the success of Operation Metro Surge during a press conference, saying it has taken criminal illegal immigrants off the streets, including murderers, sex offenders, national security threats, gang members, and other violent criminals.

Homan, who was tasked by Trump to oversee enforcement of operations in the state, said that he suggested to the president that the federal surge wind down.

"With that success that has been made arresting public safety threats and other priorities since this surge operation began, as well as the unprecedented levels of coordination we have obtained from state officials and local law enforcement, I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude," Homan said.

Local and state leaders, along with many residents, had opposed the federal presence. Tensions escalated after Renee Good and Alex Pretti were shot and killed by federal agents during federal enforcement operations in January.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz weighed in on the decision to withdraw federal agents from the state.
