Immigration Surge Drawdown in Minnesota Amid Rising Tensions

White House border czar Tom Homan announced that over 1,000 immigration agents have left the Twin Cities area in Minnesota, with hundreds more set to depart soon, as part of the Trump administration's drawdown of its immigration enforcement surge.

Despite the reduction, a 'small' security force will remain to protect the remaining agents and respond to potential volatile situations, according to Homan, who spoke with CBS' 'Face the Nation.' The scale of the remaining force was not specified.

The largest-ever immigration enforcement operation, dubbed Operation Metro Surge, faced growing criticism amid rising tensions and the death of two U.S. citizens. However, Homan confirmed that while agents are leaving Minnesota, nationwide deportation efforts will continue.
