"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."
"For more than two months 72 days, to be exact a detachment of up to 3,000 federal agents, including members of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol, have been deployed in the city and the state, both of which are governed by Democrats. During this time, Trump's immigration police have carried out illegal detentions, arrested children, such as five-year-old Ecuadorian Liam Conejo Ramos, and members of these federal agencies have killed two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti."

For 72 days up to 3,000 agents from ICE and the Border Patrol were deployed across the city and state. During the deployment agents carried out illegal detentions, arrested children including a five-year-old, and members of the agencies killed two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Homan replaced Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino amid an image crisis over Pretti's death. Neighborhood resistance and public opinion pressured a retreat, while Homan claimed unprecedented coordination without detailed evidence.
