Trump SURRENDERS in Minneapolis as Tom Homan announces end of ICE operation that left two protesters dead

Donald Trump is ending his immigration crackdown in Minnesota, Border Czar Tom Homan announced on Thursday. 

Homan announced the end of ‘Operation Metro Surge’ just weeks three weeks after the President deployed him to Minnesota to oversee the crackdown. Homan’s deployment displaced Border Patrol Greg Bovino, an ally of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. 

‘We’ve seen a big change here in the last couple of weeks,’ Homan said at a press conference in Minneapolis. ‘I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude.’

‘Twin Cities and Minnesota in general are and will continue to be much safer for the communities here because of what we have accomplished under President Trump’s leadership.’ 

Homan noted how local police and elected leaders have made deals with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to allow the agents to make arrests in jails – a major sticking point in negotiations between the Trump administration and Democrats. 

Trump’s withdrawal from Minnesota ‘will continue to the next week,’ Homan said during the press conference. 

Last week, Homan announced an initial drawdown of 700 immigration agents from the 2,000 officers still in the Twin Cities. 

The drawdown comes after two Americans, Reene Good and Alex Pretti, were killed by immigration agents during the deployment, dubbed Operation Metro Surge. 

It also comes a week after Vice President JD Vance told the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview that there would be no surrender when it comes to enforcement in the state.

Homan also announced that ICE was able to rescue thousands of unaccompanied migrant children during the operation. 

‘ICE here in this state have located 3,364 missing unaccompanied alien children, children the last administration lost and weren’t even looking for,’ he said. 

Trump’s decision to install Tom Homan at the helm of the Minneapolis operation was widely viewed as a stinging rebuke to Kristi Noem and her rumored lover, Corey Lewandowski. 

The President was said to be dissatisfied with their handling of the fatal shootings of Good and Pretti.

Homan, a longtime rival of Noem, commands respect among rank-and-file immigration agents, DHS insiders told the Daily Mail.
