MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Trump administration is taking steps to reduce the number of immigration enforcement officers operating in Minnesota, as part of a new cooperation agreement with state and local officials. At a news conference on Wednesday, border czar Tom Homan announced that roughly 700 federal agents would be withdrawn from the immigration operation in the state. This decision reflects a collaborative approach where local authorities have committed to turning over individuals arrested for various crimes but who are also undocumented immigrants. Homan emphasized that approximately 3,000 federal officers are currently stationed in Minnesota, and the shift aims to streamline efforts within the framework of this cooperation.
