Trump's border czar says 'small' security force will remain in Minnesota after enforcement drawdown

White House border czar Tom Homan announced Sunday that more than 1,000 immigration agents have left Minnesota's Twin Cities area and hundreds more will depart in the coming days as part of the Trump administration's drawdown of its immigration enforcement surge. The withdrawal represents a significant recalibration of federal resources in the region, with Homan emphasizing that while the majority of agents are being redeployed, a 'small' security force will remain to maintain essential operations. This move comes as the administration shifts its immigration enforcement priorities, potentially redirecting personnel to other border regions or enforcement focus areas. The reduction of over 1,000 agents marks one of the largest single withdrawals of federal immigration enforcement personnel from a specific location in recent memory, leaving local officials and immigrant communities to adjust to the changing federal presence.
