White House border czar Tom Homan said on Thursday thatthe Trump administration has made significant progressin Minnesota and will therefore end the immigration enforcement surge in the state.
"I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue into the next week," Homan said during a presser, adding that the admin had achieved an "unprecedented level of coordination" with state law enforcement officials.

Homan's announcement comes after acting ICE Director Todd Lyons announced on Tuesday thatlocal police in Minneapolis arestarting to arrestanti-ICE protesters.
For weeks, Minneapolis had been a flashpoint. Demonstrators swarmed federal agents.Officers were filmed, heckled, and in some cases assaulted while trying to carry out what Lyons described as “targeted, intelligence-driven enforcement operation[s].” Instead of focusing on apprehending criminal illegal aliens, agents were stuck navigating angry crowds, something they weren’t trained to do.

The Trump administration is retreatingfrom its immigration-enforcement blitz in Minnesota, pulling back after more than two months of operations that left two US citizens dead, spurred massive protests and torpedoed support for one of President Donald Trump’s signature policies.
The drawdown in forces,outlined Thursday by White House border czar Tom Homan,marks a major step to deescalate an operation that sparked congressional scrutinyof the administration’s tactics. Federal agents last month shot and killed Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis in incidents that were captured on video and drew national outrage.
Homan's announcement comes one week afterhe announced that DHS would 'draw down 700 people effective today'in Minneapolis.
