Jan. 29 (UPI) -- White House border czar Tom Homan says federal agents will continue so-called targeted operations in Minneapolis during a news conference on Thursday.
Homan added that the focus of these targeted operations will be "criminal aliens" and threats to public and national safety. He has also directed federal agents to prepare a drawdown plan for Minneapolis but clarified that the administration will not stop with detainments and deportations.
Homan added that decreasing the number of federal agents on Minneapolis' streets will require the local government and law enforcement entities to cooperate with the federal government to identify and detain immigrants.
"We will conduct targeted enforcement operations. What we've done for decades," Homan said. "With a prioritization on public safety threats. We are not surrendering the president's mission on immigration enforcement. Prioritization of criminal aliens does not mean we forget about everybody else. That's just ridiculous."
