Minneapolis | The Trump administration is reducing the number of immigration enforcement officers in Minnesota after state and local officials agreed to co-operate by turning over arrested immigrants, border tsar Tom Homan said on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT).
About 700 federal officers – about a quarter of the 3000 deployed around Minnesota – will be withdrawn immediately, Homan said. He did not give a timeline on when the operation would end.
