Federal immigration enforcement agents are being reduced in Minnesota, according to Tom Homan. He is known for his previous role overseeing border security under President Donald Trump. Homan said a significant drawdown of immigration officers in the state is already in progress.
He also proposed that the surge of agents currently deployed to Minnesota should end. The surge had been part of recent measures to increase enforcement activities. No specific timeline was given for the conclusion of the surge.
Meanwhile, the reduction follows months of elevated immigration enforcement in the region. Homan’s comments highlight a shift in approach toward the current deployment levels. Federal officials have not provided further details on the impact of the drawdown.
This development comes amid ongoing debates about immigration enforcement strategies nationwide. However, Homan’s statement focuses solely on the situation in Minnesota. The federal government has yet to announce an official policy change related to enforcement surges.
Changes in federal immigration enforcement resources can affect local law enforcement priorities and business environments in affected regions.
