Federal authorities reported that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sweeps in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area resulted in the arrest of more than 4,000 people. The operation began in early December 2025 and, at its peak, involved approximately 3,000 additional ICE and Border Patrol personnel.

The operation saw the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, by federal immigration officials. Trump sent Homan to Minnesota in late January to address unrest following these incidents, removing Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino from control of surge operations.

Homan credited "success that has been made in arresting public safety threats and other priorities since this surge operation began, as well as the unprecedented levels of coordination we have obtained from state officials and local law enforcement" for the operation's conclusion.

"A small footprint of personnel" will remain in Minnesota for a period, while most agents will be sent back to their home stations or assigned elsewhere. Federal government personnel conducting criminal investigations into alleged agitators and fraud investigations will remain until their work is completed.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey celebrated the end of the immigration crackdown, calling it "catastrophic" for Minneapolis families and businesses. Homan emphasized that Trump's "promise of mass deportation" continues nationwide, stating the administration will prioritize public safety threats.

Operation Metro Surge delivered exactly what was promised — over 4,000 arrests of dangerous criminals, including murderers, rapists and gang members who were making Minnesota communities unsafe. The operation succeeded in establishing crucial cooperation with local officials and dramatically reduced violent interference, proving that focused enforcement works and mass deportations will continue nationwide.

Deploying 3,000 federal agents for over two months to arrest roughly 4,000 people in a metro area of 3 million represents a massive failure and waste of resources. The operation inflicted deep generational trauma, economic ruin and left communities with unanswered questions while agents managed to detain barely more than one person each.
