Federal authorities will end Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota after two months, with a significant drawdown already underway and continuing next week. The decision followed improved cooperation between federal, state and local law enforcement that enabled more immigration detentions to take place at jails rather than in street operations. Local agencies have been responding more quickly and consistently to protests. Officials said the surge yielded successful results and left Minnesota safer. The operation prompted widespread protests and coincided with the deaths of two U.S. citizens. Local leaders opposing the operation declared victory while the governor warned recovery will take time.
