When the Trump administration announced a change in leadership and tactics for Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities after the shooting of Alex Pretti, many on the Right and Left viewed the decision as the Department of Homeland Security bending the knee to the mob.
There were reasons for believing that. Instead of Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino leading his men in mass sweeps to arrest illegal aliens in places like Home Depot parking lots, Border Czar Tom Homan is in charge and he has emphasized ICE and Border Patrol agents will be now focusing on “targeted” arrests.
Homan has said the ultimate goal is to have Operation Metro Surge end in the near future, but that will depend on local radicals ending their threats and acts of violence towards federal agents. So far, he has sent 700 out of 3,000 agents home.
It is understandable why these latest developments have led to the Left rejoicing and the Right seething. The confrontational tactics and rioting by Leftist agitators seemed to have worked to stop mass deportations, the two opposing sides say.
