The Trump administration has announced the conclusion of its controversial immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota, known as Operation Metro Surge, following significant public backlash and protests. According to Tom Homan, the US border czar, the decision to end the operation was made in agreement with President Trump, with a 'significant drawdown' of federal agents already underway and expected to continue over the next week (Al Jazeera, The Frontier Post). This operation, which involved thousands of federal agents, was initially justified as a targeted mission against criminals, but it led to the detention of many individuals without criminal records, including children and US citizens (Euronews). The operation also sparked outrage after the fatal shootings of two US citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, which intensified calls for reform and criticism of the administration's immigration policies (BBC US & Canada, The Guardian).
