The Trump administration announced the withdrawal of 700 federal immigration agents from Minnesota, according to statements by Tom Homan, the "chief" of immigration. This decision comes after two American citizens were killed by agents, sparking nationwide protests. Homan emphasized that his goal, with the support of President Trump, is to completely reduce the number of agents, although the withdrawal depends on the progress made in immigration law enforcement operations.
In the last two months, over 3,000 agents have been deployed in Minneapolis as part of an operation called "Metro Surge," in contrast to the 600 local law enforcement officers. The killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti generated national outrage, and administration officials had mixed reactions. Homan announced a unique command in Minneapolis, while Trump wavered between the desire to de-escalate the situation and labeling Pretti as an "agitator." At the same time, confrontations between immigration authorities and city residents continued, and the protests were covered by the media, including the arrest of former CNN host, Don Lemon.
