MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said Thursday that the number of immigration enforcement officers in Minnesota will be reduced only after cooperation from state officials, and that he has “zero tolerance” for protesters who assault his officers or impede their work.
Homan said that would mean fewer officers have to actually be out on the streets looking for immigrants in the country illegally.
“Give us access to illegal aliens, public safety threats in the safety and security of a jail,” Homan said.
Homan acknowledged that immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota haven’t been perfect but was also adamant that the administration isn’t surrendering their mission.
Homan also seemed to suggest a renewed focus on what ICE calls “targeted operations” designed to focus their efforts on apprehending immigrants who have committed crimes.
