Overview
- About 2,000 federal officers will remain in Minnesota, with any broader pullout contingent on continued local cooperation and an end to interference with arrests.
- ICE and CBP personnel in the Twin Cities are now under a unified ICE-led chain of command, with a stated shift toward targeted custody transfers from jails.
- DHS is deploying body-worn cameras for officers in Minneapolis as federal civil-rights and inspector general reviews of use of force proceed.
- The operation, billed by DHS as its largest, initially deployed roughly 3,000 agents and has resulted in about 3,000 arrests since it began.
- The deaths of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti during enforcement actions intensified protests, legal challenges, and business pressure on officials.
