Want to be clear: Homan kept saying Operation Metro Surge won't stop until the "violence" against ICE/CBP agents stops. To him that's impeding their work (i.e. whistles, recording, road blockades, etc.). He didn't mention the conduct of ICE/CBP or the murders of Renee Nicole Good or Alex Pretti.
A lot (and not a lot) came out of Homan's press conference. Takeaways: 700 ICE/CBP leaving today (2/4). Claims of unprecedented cooperation with sheriff's, but what he described is work ICE and local law enforcement already do together. Surge won't end until violence against agents stops. 🧵

If 700 ICE/CBP agents are leaving today (2/4), that suggests ~300 left last week (they didn't give an exact number then). So, after one week of Homan, upwards of 1,000 agents have been redeployed out of Minnesota. Of the original ~3,000.

Homan said all agents will wear body cameras. That will happen nationwide, but priority is in Minnesota.
He also said he'd recently been to the southern border and that it is so secure he didn't see a "single illegal alien." 🙄

Homan said they're doing more targeted operations at local jails/prisons so there are fewer agents on streets. Didn't give a timeline of full draw down. Said it won't stop until the violence against ICE/CBP ends. Said they will continue mass deportations. Said ICE/CBP agents are "compassionate" 🧵

Judge Menendez writes, "it would be difficult to overstate the effect this operation is having on the citizens of Minnesota, and the Court must acknowledge that reality here [...] will likely continue to have, profound and even heartbreaking consequences"
But then rules in favor of the Trump admin.

A day after ICE agents murdered Renee Nicole Good, they almost murdered Alberto Castañeda Mondragón. They took him to the hospital with broken bones in his skull and face. They claimed he "ran into a wall." Mondragón has valid immigration docs and no criminal record.

The Trump admin has arrested Don Lemon AND local journalist Georgia Fort because they did their job at the protest that took place in the St. Paul church that's led in part by a pastor who works for ICE.
Minnesota based Independent Journalist GEORGIA FORT has been arrested for filming a protest of the church pastor that works as an ICE manager. SPREAD THE WORD! Georgia has been doing outstanding reporting from ground zero!

All of this. 👇 I'm across the street from Columbia Heights and it is the best. It has its own Pride festival. One of the best indie movie theatres in the metro (The Heights). AND they have Rep. Sandra Feist and Sen. Mary Kunesh who are phenomenal (full disclosure I also live in their districts).
I want people to understand Columbia Heights as a first ring suburb of working class Minnesotans. It has my favorite Palestinian grocery, one of the best Mexican ones, a huge Indian grocery store, an East Asian store I haven't tried yet because there are so many, and a Palestinian sweets store.
