Trump admin to withdraw 700 federal officers from Minnesota: Homan

The Trump administration will draw down 700 federal law enforcement officers from Minnesota “effective immediately,” White House border czar Tom Homan said Wednesday.

After that partial withdrawal, around 2,000 federal agents will remain in the state — a roughly 25% reduction — with most concentrated in the Twin Cities area encompassing Minneapolis and St. Paul, Homan said at a press conference in Minneapolis.

Homan announced the pullback after touting what he said was “unprecedented cooperation” between the federal government and state and local entities.
