"When we have agreements, it takes less law enforcement agents to do the job, he said. He continued, arguing that hateful rhetoric and attacks on ICE agents had required the agency to send in more personnel: We have to [then] send in a security team behind the arrest team. What could have been done by one person in the safety of the jail now, we got 15-16 people out there doing."
"This is common sense cooperation that allows us to draw down on the number of people we have here, Homan said. Yes, I said it, draw down the number of people here. Because we have the efficiency and safety of the jails and the prison. As a matter of fact, I have staff from CBP and from ICE working on a drawdown plan and what that looks like."
Tom Homan announced that CBP and ICE staff are working on a drawdown plan to reduce the number of personnel deployed in Minnesota. Homan assumed leadership of the Trump administration's immigration operation in Minnesota after President Donald Trump demoted Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino following the fatal shooting of VA nurse Alex Pretti. Homan said meetings with state and local law enforcement produced agreements allowing arrests upon jail release and improving operational safety and efficiency. Homan argued that hostile rhetoric and attacks on ICE forced larger security teams during arrests, increasing visible personnel. New agreements would permit fewer agents on the street and safer operations.
