"This is efficient, it requires only one or two officers to assume custody of a criminal alien target rather than eight or 10 officers going into the community and arresting that public safety threat. This frees up more officers to arrest or remove criminal aliens. More officers taking custody of criminal aliens directly from the jails means less officers on the street doing criminal operations."
"I also want to reiterate and emphasize, we are not requiring jails to hold people past their normal release time for immigration purposes. We're not asking anyone to be an immigration officer. We are not asking any state or local official to do immigration enforcement activity. They are not by merely notifying us before they release them. They don't hold them one minute past they norm"
Tom Homan announced a significant drawdown of federal agents in Minneapolis after receiving unprecedented cooperation from local officials. Homan was placed in charge of immigration enforcement in Minnesota following fatal altercations involving ICE and Border Patrol personnel. Collaboration with Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey has increased coordination with counties to notify ICE before releases. The process allows one or two officers to assume custody of criminal alien targets from jails, freeing more officers for arrests and removals and reducing street operations. Officials emphasized that jails are not being asked to hold people past normal release times or perform immigration enforcement.
