Minneapolis live updates: Feds to ‘draw down’ 700 agents, but 2,000 remain, Homan says

The White House’s border czar, Tom Homan, is scheduled to hold a press conference on Wednesday morning in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Homan is expected to speak at 8 a.m. CT, according to the White House.

The border czar was dispatched early last week to Minnesota to attempt to find a solution to the tensions that have roiled the state in the wake of two fatal shootings involving federal agents.

Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection have been carrying out Operation Metro Surge in the state.

Homan said last Thursday that “massive changes” were expected, saying he had reached agreements with local and state officials that would eventually “draw down” the number of federal agents in the city.

“We will conduct targeted enforcement operations — targeted; what we’ve done for decades,” Homan said last week. “When we hit the streets, we know exactly who we’re looking for, have a good idea of where we may find them.”
