Border czar Tom Homan announced that the Trump administration is reducing its federal law enforcement operation in Minnesota by 700 personnel.
“As a result of the need for less law enforcement officers to do this work in a safer environment, I have announced, effective immediately, we will draw down 700 people,” Homan said.
Homan announced plans last week to draw down personnel but didn’t disclose a specific number.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey claimed that there were 3,000 federal immigration officers in his city, which had a police force of about 600 people.
“We have also fully integrated CBP personnel … under one unified chain of command, not two chains,” Homan added. “Any large enforcement operation I’ve ever been involved with, there’s one chain of command.”
