Metro Surge: 4,000+ Criminal Illegals Removed in MN

More than 4,000 criminal illegal aliens - including violent killers, rapists, gang members, and other public safety threats - have been arrested in Minnesota since President Donald J. Trump launched Operation Metro Surge. This landmark achievement marks another decisive step forward in the Trump Administration's relentless drive to dismantle the devastating effects of the Radical Left's open border policies and deliver his promise to restore law and order to our communities.

Today in Minneapolis, Border Czar Tom Homan underscored the unprecedented level of cooperation now emerging from local officials - compelled by the Trump Administration's sustained, resolute enforcement:

• "We currently have an unprecedented number of counties communicating with us now and allowing ICE to take custody of illegal aliens BEFORE they hit the streets." (Watch)
• "For those who are not a national security threat or public safety risk, you are NOT exempt from immigration enforcement actions. If you're in the country illegally, you are NOT off the table… Let me be clear: President Trump fully intends to achieve mass deportations during this Administration." (Watch)
• "We are NOT surrendering the President's mission on a mass deportation operation. If you are in the country illegally, if we find you, we'll deport you." (Watch)
• "We've got special agents on detail here doing the fraud investigation. They're not going anywhere. They're going to finish their job." (Watch)
• "We moved immediately to prioritize full body cam deployment in this city… The plan is to deploy them nationwide." (Watch)
• "[The goal] is to achieve a complete drawdown and end this surge as soon as we can, but that is largely contingent upon the end of the illegal and threatening activities against ICE and its federal partners that we're seeing in the community. We will not draw down on personnel providing security for our officers." (Watch)
• "President Trump and I would like to thank the men and women of ICE, Border Patrol, and other federal agencies on the ground here for your dedication to the oath you swore to enforce the federal laws and promote public safety through the work you do." (Watch)
• "I'd like to thank President Trump for his steadfast leadership and commitment to law enforcement, public safety, and prosperity… I've worked for six Presidents in ten Administrations. When it comes to public safety, border security, immigration enforcement - no one's done it better than President Trump. His success is unprecedented." (Watch)
