It had to eventually happen, right?
Minnesota immigration enforcement surge is ending, Trump border tsar says
The US immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota will end, President Donald Trump’s border tsar told reporters on Thursday.
Tom Homan said Trump had approved his request to conclude the operation, adding he would stay in Minnesota “a little longer to oversee the drawdown, to ensure its success”.
Homan said Operation Metro Surge had resulted in many illegal immigrants who had committed violent crimes being detained for deportation. But the surge also sparked nationwide protests when two US citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were killed by immigration officers.
Officials in Minnesota have been able to “greatly reduce the number of targets” for immigration enforcement, Homan said, adding that Operation Metro Surge was a “great success”.
More than 4,000 undocumented immigrants had been arrested, according to Homan, including men he said were convicted of rape and other sexual misconduct.
Homan said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has always had a presence in Minnesota and will continue to have one.
Of course, then we get nuts like the Daily Mail
The surge was always going to end at some point, that way they could move it elsewhere. That it lasted this long is wild. They arrested a lot of illegals, and I bet they obtained a lot of information on the Somalis who committed fraud. So, which Democrat run city is next?
Those two weren’t “protesters.”
They were criminally obstructing law enforcement. More akin to rioters than protesters.
