The Immigration Enforcement Drawdown

White House Border Czar Tom Homan announced on February 4, 2026, that 700 immigration agents are leaving Minneapolis, reducing the force from 3,000 to 2,300.

The Withdrawal Details

Trump's orders: President Trump personally ordered the withdrawal, telling NBC "I just wanted to do it."

Jail cooperation: Several Minnesota law enforcement agencies have expressed interest in allowing ICE to arrest immigrants inside jails after they've been arrested for crimes.

Goal achieved?: Homan stated his goal is "to achieve a complete drawdown and end this surge as soon as we can."

The Context

The Minneapolis deployment was part of Trump's immigration enforcement surge. The drawdown suggests the administration believes the initial enforcement goals have been met, though critics question whether lasting change has occurred.
