As fallout continues from two fatal immigration enforcement encounters in Minneapolis this month, a retired senior Immigration and Customs Enforcement official is warning that the agency may not survive in its current form. Pressed on why the Minneapolis operation unraveled so quickly, Reeves pointed to the use of Customs and Border Protection agents in an interior city far from the border. “Anytime you involve the Border Patrol into the interior of the United States, the wheels are going to fall off,” Reeves said. “Their training, their mindset, their mission—it’s different.”He said interior ICE enforcement is constrained by constitutional limits that do not apply in the same way at the border. “But you can’t function under ICE after this.”For Reeves, the deaths in Minneapolis represent more than a political or tactical failure.
