U.S. Scales Back Minnesota Immigration Surge by 700 Agents After Local Cooperation

The move reflects a tactical adjustment, not a reversal of nationwide deportations.

Overview

  • Roughly 3,000 federal immigration officers were deployed to Minnesota; 700 will depart immediately, leaving about 2,000 in place, Tom Homan said.
  • Homan emphasized that deportation operations will continue daily nationwide and described the Minnesota drawdown as contingent on cooperation from local jails.
  • The Department of Homeland Security will prioritize full deployment of body-worn cameras in Minneapolis after an internal review found inconsistent use, with a broader rollout planned.
  • Federal Judge John R. Tunheim issued a temporary order limiting certain detentions of immigrants pursuing permanent residency in Minnesota, with a hearing set to review the measure.
  • The White House reported more than 4,000 arrests under Operation Metro Surge as protests continue following the fatal shootings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti.
