White House border czar Tom Homan says the administration is withdrawing 700 immigration officers from Minnesota, effective immediately, after state and local officials agreed to turn over arrested immigrants. Still, Homan warned, the mission of mass deportations continues. The Trump administration announced Wednesday that 700 of the roughly 3,000 federal officers deployed around Minnesota will be withdrawn.
Main Idea: Tom Homan said the Trump administration is pulling 700 immigration officers out of Minnesota right away, but the mass deportation effort will continue.
Key Points:
More immigration raids can unsettle immigrant families, schools, and local workers, and the clashes may raise costs for taxpayers and police time.
The pullback of 700 officers may ease tensions in Minnesota and reduce the chance of aggressive arrests near homes and schools.
