Border czar Tom Homan said Thursday the immigration enforcement surge operation in Minnesota will end.
“I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude,” Homan said at a press conference.
The Minnesota deportation push, called Operation Metro Surge, led to the arrest of more than 4,000 immigrants, the White House announced last week. It also led to mass protests, the death of two U.S. citizens who were shot by federal immigration officers, and it coincided with a huge drop in Americans’ approval of Trump’s deportation tactics, according to polling.
