Tom Homan, dubbed the border czar by President Donald Trump, announced Thursday that the brutal anti-immigration operation launched in early December in Minnesota by the White House has concluded. I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude, Homan said at a press conference held in Minneapolis early in the morning. The Trump administration ordered the withdrawal of 700 federal agents from the Democratic city last week, and Homan said a significant drawdown of personnel would continue into next week.

I am closely monitoring the confirmed reports of federal agents on Michigan Ave., Johnson said. While Chicagoans and visitors are enjoying another gorgeous Sunday, they are being intimidated and threatened by masked federal agents flaunting automatic weapons for no apparent reason. Johnson added, This is another brazen provocation from the Trump administration that does nothing to make our city safer.

The news came at an emergency press conference on Friday evening, where Portland Mayor Keith Wilson announced that the "rumors about deployment" of national law enforcement "became a reality" today, after a week of escalating rhetoric out of the White House. Wilson said the city has confirmed sightings of armored federal law enforcement vehicles and agents on Portland's streets. He and other elected officials and community leaders urged Portlanders not to "take the bait" from the Trump administration, encouraging calm and nonviolent protest.
