President Donald Trump has agreed to end “Operation Metro Surge”, the large and controversial deportation surge in Minnesota, White House border czar Tom Homan announced Thursday. The crackdown - which saw around 3,000 immigration enforcement agents deployed to deport migrants across the state - will be scaled down as many officers are set to return to their home states next week.Operation Metro Surge had become one of the most hotly protested moves of Trump’s presidency, drawing mass demonstrations in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. The surge led to thousands of arrests and the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens, Renée Good and Alex Pretti, by federal immigration agents, sparking widespread outrage and legal challenges. Trump officials presented the drawdown as a response to coordination with local authorities and public pressure, but local leaders and activists called for accountability for the violence and disruption caused by the operation.#Trump #ICE #Minnesota #Immigration #Deportation #TomHoman #BorderPolicy #TimWalz #Minneapolis #USPolitics #HomelandSecurity #Protests #FederalAgents #ImmigrationDebate #CivilRights #LawEnforcement #PolicyShift #BreakingNews #America #OperationMetroSurge
