The Trump administration announced an immediate withdrawal of 700 immigration officers from Minnesota, according to border czar Tom Homan. Despite the reduction, enforcement activities in the state will continue as planned.
This decision comes amid ongoing tensions and recent violent incidents related to immigration enforcement operations in the region.

The presence of immigration officers in Minnesota has been a focal point of community concern and conflict. Scaling back personnel may affect the intensity and scope of enforcement efforts, but continued operations suggest that immigration remains a priority for the administration in the state.
