The Trump administration's decision to withdraw 700 federal immigration enforcement agents from Minnesota has sparked significant controversy and public outcry. According to The Frontier Post, this decision follows weeks of operations and the fatal shooting of two protesters, which intensified national outrage. Despite the reduction, Tom Homan, a senior Trump official, stated that approximately 2,000 agents would remain in Minnesota, emphasizing that the drawdown was due to increased cooperation with local authorities. Homan mentioned that more officers are now taking custody of 'criminal aliens directly from the jails,' reducing the need for street detentions. This move marks a shift from the initial deployment of only 150 federal immigration officers in the state before the operations began.
