Border Czar Tom Homan on Minneapolis Drawdown and Immigration Enforcement

Body Camera Deployment

• 💡 The workforce identified a gap in the use of body-worn cameras, leading to an immediate prioritization of full deployment in Minneapolis.
• 🎯 This initiative is supported by the President, emphasizing a commitment to transparency in law enforcement operations.
• ✅ The integration of structures and resources aims to ensure accountability and effective, safe, and appropriate enforcement.

Immigration Enforcement Strategy

• ⚡ Smarter enforcement, not less enforcement, is the focus, with immigration enforcement actions continuing daily nationwide.
• 🚀 President Trump's goal is to achieve mass deportations during his administration.
• ⚠️ Individuals in the country illegally are not exempt from enforcement actions.

Conditions for Drawdown in Minneapolis

• 🎯 The administration's goal is a complete drawdown from Minneapolis, contingent on ending illegal and threatening activities against ICE and its federal partners.
• 🔒 Personnel providing security for officers and responding to hostile incidents will not be drawn down until there is a change in lawlessness, impeding, interfering, and assaulting of ICE and Border Patrol officers.
• 🤝 A complete drawdown depends on the cooperation of local and state law enforcement and a decrease in violence, rhetoric, and attacks against ICE and Border Patrol.

Federal Law Enforcement's Role

• 🏅 Federal law enforcement personnel from ICE, CBP, and other partner agencies are described as patriots who carry out their duties patriotically.
• ⚖️ The Chief of Police has committed to taking swift action on illegal roadblocks, which should not be tolerated.
