Border Czar Halts Minnesota Surge, Citing "Bloodshed"

Border czar Tom Homan announced Thursday that the federal immigration operation, known as Operation Metro Surge, in Minneapolis is concluding, citing a decrease in the need for federal officers and a desire to prevent further bloodshed. The drawdown of federal immigration officers is set to begin next week, according to CBS News.

Homan made the announcement at a news conference held at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building at Fort Snelling in Minneapolis, CBS News reported. He stated the decision was made after considering the number of "public safety threat" arrests the operation had yielded and a significant drop in the need for quick response force teams due to "agitators." "That is a good thing. That is a win for everybody, not just for the safety of law enforcement officers," Homan said, according to CBS News. "It's a win for this community."

The operation's conclusion comes after heightened tensions in the city following the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal agents in January. Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, was shot and killed on January 24, and Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, was fatally shot on January 7, as reported by ABC News. The shooting of Pretti led to protests and clashes between protesters and law enforcement.

In other news, U.S. downhill skiing champion Breezy Johnson got engaged after crashing out of the women's Super-G race at the Winter Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, according to CBS News. After the crash, her boyfriend, Connor Watkins, proposed, and she accepted.

Also, the search is intensifying for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, who investigators believe was kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1, ABC News reported. The FBI released photos and videos of an armed person in a mask in front of her home.

In the Caribbean, a rare collision occurred between two U.S. Navy ships on Wednesday, resulting in minor injuries to two personnel, according to ABC News. The ships involved were the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Truxtun and the Supply-class fast combat support ship USNS Supply. Both ships continue to sail safely, according to U.S. Southern Command.
