ICE and Operation Metro Surge

Border czar Tom Homan announced that Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota will conclude after a weeks‑long deployment that involved thousands of federal agents, saying he proposed the drawdown, President Trump concurred, roughly 700 personnel are being pulled out and ICE’s on‑the‑ground footprint will shrink to about 150 agents within a week while investigative teams and a small security force remain. The White House and GOP allies touted the operation as a success — citing more than 4,000 arrests and other claimed results — while Minnesota officials and local leaders voiced skepticism, described community harm and demanded accountability as public disapproval of ICE has risen.
