Homan to draw down agents in Minnesota. And, U.S.-Russia nuclear arms deal expires
"U.S. border czar Tom Homan announced yesterday that 700 federal agents are leaving Minnesota. The move comes after federal agents fatally shot two Americans during the massive immigration operation in the state. Homan did not provide a timeline for when the operation in Minnesota would fully end. He said a further drawdown of federal agents would depend on state and local cooperation."
"A new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll reveals that 65% of Americans believe Immigration and Customs Enforcement has gone too far. NPR's Domenico Montanaro says the percentage jumped double digits from last summer on what used to be President Trump's strongest issue: immigration. Overall, the poll shows that Trump's approval ratings are low across the board. Montanaro says people don't have to believe the polls; instead, they should watch what politicians do."
Tom Homan announced 700 federal agents will leave Minnesota following the fatal shooting of two Americans during a large immigration operation, with no timeline for a full end. The drawdown will leave about 2,300 federal agents in the state and further reductions will depend on state and local cooperation. Homan aims to restore ICE presence to pre-operation levels partly to support other planned national operations. Local leaders view the drawdown as progress but insufficient. A new poll finds 65% of Americans think ICE has gone too far and shows low presidential approval. The New START treaty expired, removing limits on the two largest nuclear arsenals and raising concerns about renewed nuclear competition.
