"At a press conference on Wednesday, border czar Tom Homan announced that the withdrawal is a consequence of increased support from local authorities for operations against migrants. Given this increase in unprecedented collaboration, and as a result of the need for less public safety officers to do this work and a safer environment, I am announcing, effective immediately, we'll draw down 700 people effective today 700 law enforcement personnel, Homan stated."
"U.S. President Donald Trump, who initially backed the Department of Homeland Security's version blaming the victims, was forced to change strategy to calm tensions. He removed Gregory Bovino, the head of the Border Patrol and the main defender of violent tactics in migration operations, and replaced him with Homan, who announced upon arriving in Minneapolis that they would be de-escalating operations."
The Trump administration will pull roughly 700 of nearly 3,000 federal agents from Minneapolis after local authorities increased cooperation in operations targeting migrants. Border czar Tom Homan announced the drawdown and credited unprecedented collaboration and a safer environment for reducing the need for federal personnel. Homan took command in the Twin Cities following the shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, which sparked nationwide protests. The administration removed Gregory Bovino as Border Patrol head and replaced him with Homan, who favored de-escalation and urged jails to transfer eligible inmates to ICE rather than rely on street raids. Minnesota officials clashed with federal leaders over use of force.
