Border czar Tom Homan announced that staff from CBP and ICE are “working on a drawdown plan” after successful meetings with top Minnesota officials and law enforcement, discussing “agreements” he said would allow the agencies to reduce the number of personnel deployed in the state. Homan spoke out during a press conference on Thursday morning in Minneapolis, just days after he had assumed leadership of the Trump administration’s immigration operation in Minnesota. President Donald Trump demoted Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino and appointed Homan after the fatal shooting of VA nurse Alex Pretti on Saturday. He continued, arguing that “hateful rhetoric and attacks” on ICE agents had required the agency to send in more personnel: “We have to [then] send in a security team behind the arrest team. As a matter of fact, I have staff from CBP and from ICE working on a drawdown plan and what that looks like.
