Trump Administration Cuts Immigration Agents in Minnesota Amid Protests

The Trump administration announced a reduction of 700 immigration agents in Minnesota. This decision follows 'unprecedented' cooperation from local sheriffs, though President Trump plans to continue aggressive deportation policies nationwide, despite widespread protests against the deployment of agents.

The Trump administration will decrease the number of federal immigration agents in Minnesota by 700, according to an announcement made by White House border czar Tom Homan on Wednesday.

This development follows the deployment of thousands of armed immigration agents in the Minneapolis area earlier this year, a move that sparked significant protests from local communities.

Homan cited 'unprecedented' cooperation from Minnesota's elected sheriffs in county jails as a reason for the partial drawdown, while emphasizing President Trump's commitment to pursuing mass deportations during his tenure.
