President Donald Trump sent Homan, his top immigration advisor, to Minnesota late last month to address the growing unrest over excessive use of force by immigration officers in the state, including the shooting deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Homan took over leadership of “Operation Metro Surge” from Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino and quickly set up meetings with local and state leaders including sheriffs, police chiefs, Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. Last week, Homan announced he was pulling 700 immigration agents from the city, leaving around 2,000 in the area.
