The Trump Administration announced Thursday it was ending its large-scale immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota, following widespread protests and the deaths of two people shot by federal agents in Minneapolis. The decision, conveyed by border czar Tom Homan, came after meetings with Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, according to Time.
The operation, known as Operation Metro Surge, had been led by Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino before his reassignment. Homan, President Trump's top immigration advisor, was sent to Minnesota late last month to address growing unrest and concerns over the use of force by immigration officers.
