Homan announces Operation Metro Surge to conclude in...

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan announced Thursday that the administration will conclude Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota.

Homan told reporters during a news conference at the Bishop Whipple Federal in Minneapolis that the operation succeeded in reducing public safety threats with "unprecedented levels of coordination" from state officials and local law enforcement, "I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude."

"A significant drawdown that's already been underway this week and will continue through the next week," Homan said. "We have a lot of work to do across this country to remove public safety risk. 

Homan said a "small footprint of personnel" will remain for a period of time to close out and transition full command back to the field office along with ensuring agitator activity continues to decline in the state.

"Additionally, federal government personnel assigned to conduct criminal investigations into the agitators, as well as the personnel assigned here for the fraud investigations, will remain in place until the work is done," Homan said.

Homan added that he will also remain on the ground to oversee the operation’s drawdown and success.
