Border czar Homan orders 700 federal officers out of Minnesota, hails 'unprecedented cooperation'

Source: KSTP (Twin Cities ABC affiliate)

Nearly one-quarter of the federal immigration enforcement officers in Minnesota will start leaving the state on Wednesday.

Tom Homan, the White House “border czar” who’s now leading the federal immigration enforcement and fraud investigation operations in Minnesota, announced the development on Wednesday, pointing to “unprecedented cooperation” with state and local officials.

“Given this increase in unprecedented collaboration and, 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, effective today,” Homan said.

Last week, in his first public comments since arriving in the state, Homan pledged “massive changes” and a “drawdown” in federal forces in Minnesota if the state further cooperates with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol. Despite limited details on what changed, the first big change is now happening.
