Overview
- Border czar Tom Homan said the enhanced operation is ending in Minnesota and credited what he called significant coordination with county jails.
- Witt publicly denied making any agreement with federal officials, said her policies have not changed, and noted she met Homan without striking a deal.
- A statewide outreach to sheriffs found the overwhelming response was that policies remain unchanged, though Crow Wing County reported formal collaborations and St. Louis County opposed holding on detainers alone.
- Sheriffs described notifying federal authorities within the bounds of state law but said they cannot hold people past their criminal cases, with examples including detention contracts in Kandiyohi and Crow Wing counties.
- Hennepin County deputies seen at the courthouse and the Whipple Federal Building were described by Witt as present for security and protest peacekeeping, with the duration of that presence still under discussion.
