On February 12, 2026, White House border czar Tom Homan announced a plan to "draw down" immigration agents from the State of Minnesota. The so-called "Metro Surge" operation that began two-plus months ago involves more than 2,000 federal agents supposedly enforcing immigration laws. The reality is that those federal agents have killed Minnesota residents on the streets and in detention centers, harmed and injured numerous others through violent retaliation and wanton disregard for human life, trampled on constitutional rights, embraced racial profiling, thrown lives into chaos, and impeded access to education and medical care. Many of these actions were blatantly unjustified and unlawful.
