Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border enforcement coordinator, announced Thursday that the number of immigration officers in Minnesota may be decreased. He emphasized that any reduction would depend on obtaining cooperation from state officials. This marks Homan’s first public statement since being assigned to Minneapolis following a federal directive.
Homan did not provide a specific timeline for the drawdown but highlighted the importance of collaboration between federal and state authorities in managing immigration enforcement efforts.
**Why this matters:**
Minnesota has been a focal point in federal immigration enforcement strategies, and changes in officer deployment could impact local communities and law enforcement operations. The emphasis on state cooperation underscores ongoing tensions and negotiations between federal immigration agencies and state governments.
