"On Thursday, border czar Tom Homan announced the end of Operation Metro Surge, the federal operation that brought thousands of immigration officers into Minnesota and which resulted in widespread claims of brutal tactics and the deaths of Minneapolis residents Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents. At a press conference, Homan touted the success of the operation, asserting that the Trump administration had seen an "unprecedented level of coordination with law enforcement officials" on the ground"
"According to Homan, a "small footprint of personnel" will remain on the ground in Minnesota to help transition operations back to the local ICE field office and monitor "agitator activity." He said officers that are part of the drawdown will return to their home office or be reassigned to help further President Donald Trump 's immigration aims, though he did not provide a specific timetable for the withdrawal."
Operation Metro Surge concluded in Minnesota after a months-long federal deployment that drew thousands of immigration officers and prompted claims of brutal tactics and the deaths of Minneapolis residents Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Border czar Tom Homan described the operation as successful and said federal authorities made more than 4,000 arrests of murderers, sex offenders and other violent criminals. Homan ordered the withdrawal of 700 ICE and CBP agents, said a significant drawdown is underway, and said a small footprint will remain to transition operations, monitor agitator activity, and support ongoing prosecutions and investigations.
