Federal Immigration Agents To Be Reduced In Minnesota
5 weeks ago
President Trump’s border czar says federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota will be scaled back after state and local officials agreed to cooperate by turning over arrested immigrants.
Tom Homan says about 700 federal agents—roughly a quarter of those currently deployed—will be withdrawn from operations in the state. He previously said reductions would only come if local authorities cooperated with federal immigration efforts.
The move follows recent signals from President Trump suggesting a willingness to ease tensions in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
