There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

I want to further say that the Twin Cities has raised FIVE MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS to pay the rent of our neighbors over the last three months.
That's five million dollars we all NEEDED, but our neighbors needed it more.
And why? Why??
Because people could not work for fear of KIDNAPPING.

They keep changing tactics but keep kidnapping my neighbors. Every time they claim they’re drawing down things get a little worse.
ICE observers in Minnesota are skeptical about the White House's claims of a federal drawdown.
But they have noticed in recent weeks a shift from aggressive street sweeps in Minneapolis to instead target people in the suburbs or quietly waiting in unmarked vehicles of residential areas.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
