President Donald Trump’s border enforcement official, Tom Homan, announced on Thursday that the number of immigration officers in Minnesota may be decreased. Homan emphasized that any reduction would depend on the level of cooperation received from state authorities.
Homan was appointed by Trump to oversee immigration enforcement efforts and is currently assessing resource allocation across various states, including Minnesota.
**Why this matters**
The potential drawdown in Minnesota highlights ongoing tensions between federal immigration agencies and state governments. Cooperation between state officials and federal enforcement can influence the deployment of personnel and resources, affecting how immigration policies are implemented locally.
