Tom Homan announces end of Operation Metro Surge after Minneapolis killings

Border Czar Tom Homan announced the end of Operation Metro Surge, the mass immigration enforcement operation that had deployed up to 3,000 federal agents to Minneapolis since December 2025. The operation produced between 3,700 and 4,000 arrests — the government initially reported 3,000, with later FOIA data showing 3,789 — but triggered intense national backlash after ICE agents killed Renée Good and CBP agents killed Alex Pretti, both U.S. citizens. Political pressure from congressional Democrats, state officials, and DHS funding negotiations compelled the operation's wind-down.
