BREAKING: DHS to Pull 700 Federal Officers From Minnesota

In a significant move, President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will immediately withdraw 700 federal officers from Minnesota. This decision leaves about 2,000 officers still operating in the state, continuing the broader immigration enforcement efforts.

The drawdown follows several weeks of tensions related to a large-scale immigration enforcement operation in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area. Federal officials cited increased cooperation from state and local authorities as a key factor in reducing the number of federal personnel. With this shift, the DHS aims to scale back the deployment while maintaining pressure on immigration enforcement across the state.

Despite the reduction in federal officers, the administration made clear that the overarching enforcement mission will continue, with thousands of officers still on the ground. The operation, which has sparked controversy and debate, is expected to move forward as planned, with local, state, and federal cooperation remaining a focal point of the enforcement strategy.

The move marks a temporary de-escalation in Minnesota, but the broader impact of federal immigration enforcement remains a contentious issue as debates over immigration policy continue to shape the political landscape.
