Trump’s Border Czar to Pull 700 Agents Out of Minnesota
Tom Homan, the White House border czar, said that 700 immigration agents will be moved out of Minnesota. About 2,000 agents and officers will stay behind to enforce the administration’s immigration crackdown.
Given this increase in unprecedented collaboration and as a result of the need for less law enforcement officers to do this work in a safer environment, I have announced, effective immediately, we will draw down 700 people, effective today — 700 law enforcement personnel. So we will not draw down on personnel providing security and responding to hostile incidents until we see a change in what’s happening with the lawlessness of the impeding and interfering and assaulting of ICE and Border Patrol officers. If you violate the law, you will be federally prosecuted. In the past month, 158 people have been arrested for violation of 111. I’ve been saying this for almost a year now: Hateful, extreme rhetoric against ICE personnel is completely unacceptable. If the hateful rhetoric didn’t stop, I was afraid there would be bloodshed. And there has been.
