President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan says ICE agents are pulling out of Minnesota as part of a “significant drawdown” following weeks of chaos.

The top immigration official insisted that the buildup of agents in the state, which led to the killing of two U.S. citizens, was a success, but nonetheless said the surge operation will wind down.

“I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue through the next week,” Homan said at a press conference on Thursday.

It was an anticlimactic conclusion to a controversial operation that scarred a community and led to widespread backlash across the country.

1. Is this a backdown?

3. I'd say it's hard to view it any other way

Homan "declared it a success"...even though it was light years away from anything of the sort.

It's what cowards usually do...declare "victory" and high-tail it out of Dodge.

4. No, just an occupation drawdown.

ICE still going to be there, even if CBP leaves.
DHS is probably just removing the untrained shock troops to pretend this is a return to normalcy.

But they're still going to be staking out small businesses and schools.

2. Now where are the spineless bastards going?

9. It will be interesting to see how the next administration handles this...

...not only the ICE debacle, but the rogue behavior of Trump's cabinet on whole.

One thing I think we can say about Democrats is that when it comes to "hearings," they are NOT Gym Jacket Off Jordan or James Comer.

I think they will do what they need to do in order to take care of business, but I also don't see wall-to-wall, 24/7, Democrat-led "hearings."

I don't know. I don't imagine they will turn their backs on all of this but there is simply going to be too much damage to fix, and I don't see that spanking Trump's boot-lickers taking top priority.

6. Homan has declared victory just to save face

because their invasion of Minnesota was a disaster for ICE and DHS. Unfortunately it was also a disaster for us - terrorized citizens, two people murdered, enormous economic losses. And even if they're done with us, they'll bring their shit show to other cities, where I hope citizen resistance is as effective as it is here. We're not done with our protests, either. We'll keep protesting until ICE is out everywhere.

8. That was my thought.
