OPERATION METRO SURGE ENDING IN MINNESOTA

Operation Metro Surge is ending in Minnesota.  White House Border Czar Tom Homan said Thursday they’ve seen a notable decrease in unlawful agitator activity in Minneapolis and throughout the state.  Homan touted success that has been made arresting public safety threats and other priorities since the surge started and the unprecedented levels of coordination with state officials and local law enforcement.  Homan proposed, and President Trump concurred that the surge operation end.  Homan says a small footprint of personnel will remain for a period of time to close out and transition command and control back to the ICE field office.  He plans to stay in Minnesota to oversee the drawdown.
