Tom Homan orders immediate drawdown of 700 officers from Minnesota amid increased tension

Описание: President Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, announced Wednesday morning that he will drawdown 700 officers from Minnesota, effective immediately, as a result of local and state officials cooperating by turning over arrested immigrants.

Homan was sent to Minneapolis last week in an attempt to end the violence and tensions between the roughly 3,000 federal agents and the community protesting their presence.

Protests escalated in Minnesota last month after immigration enforcement agents shot and killed a mother of three, Renee Good, and ICU nurse Alex Pretti.

Homan said the decision to remove hundreds of immigration officers from the state came after his discussions with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, state Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and numerous police chiefs and sheriffs, all of whom agreed that community safety is paramount.
