President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, declared an end to Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota following widespread protests against immigration raids that led to the fatal shootings by officers of two American citizens.

His announcement comes two weeks after Trump officials removed Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino from the area, where he had been clashing with demonstrators upset over the surge and the aggressive tactics of some immigration officers. Trump dispatched Homan to negotiate an exit strategy with state and Minneapolis officials, and Homan said hundreds of officers are preparing to withdraw in the coming days.
