Trump admin trims Minnesota immigration presence as officers shifted to unified DHS command

The Trump administration, led by border czar Tom Homan, says it will draw down about 700 immigration enforcement officers in Minnesota due to increased coordination between county jails and federal officials, with CBP officers in Minnesota set to join ICE under a unified command. Homan said around 2000 officers remain after the drawdown and that the pre‑operation count was reportedly between 100 and 150, though not all sheriffs have committed to cooperating. Critics warn the move could erode trust in immigrant communities and deter crime reporting.
