The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Minnesota, led by Tom Homan, is coming to an end, having stirred considerable controversy. Homan announced that President Donald Trump has endorsed the proposal to conclude the operation, which has involved the deployment of around 3,000 armed immigration officials to the state. The operation largely focused on Minneapolis, the largest city in Minnesota.

During its course, the operation was aimed at reducing crime and maintaining law and order, with Homan asserting that Minnesota is 'no longer a safe haven for criminals' as a result. This initiative has evoked mixed reactions from various segments of the population, reflecting a polarized view on immigration enforcement and public safety in the region. Advocates for immigrants' rights have opposed the increased presence of federal agents, citing concerns about civil liberties and community trust in law enforcement.

As the operation draws to a close, it remains to be seen how its aftermath will affect Minnesota's immigration landscape and the ongoing debate over federal immigration policies. The announcement was made amidst significant media coverage from agencies such as AP and Reuters, indicating the operation's national relevance and the continued discussion on immigration reform across the country.
