Trump Immigration Operation Sets Precedent In Sanctuary Minnesota

By Julio Rosas | Junto

Border Czar Tom Homan announced on Thursday that Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota is officially coming to an end. Homan explained the conditions on the ground, particularly in the Twin Cities, have met the criteria to no longer need thousands of extra Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents. Many Democrats and leftists are declaring victory. Blackpillers are claiming Trump caved. Both are wrong.

What happened in Minnesota over the past six weeks was not primarily a law enforcement operation. It was a political one and it worked.

Since day one of the second Trump administration, Homan has stated that if the Department of Homeland Security was not going to be supported in sanctuary cities, then extra personnel and resources will be sent to those areas to get the job done. Minnesota tested that promise under the worst possible conditions — and the result is that local Democratic leaders who were actively encouraging mobs six weeks ago are now ordering their police to cooperate with federal agents.

That capitulation is the real story, not the 4,000 arrests.
