Has Trump administration really ended its Minnesota ICE surge, or just rebranded it?
The Trump administration announced Thursday, February 12, that it is ending its two-month immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a massive operation that flooded the Twin Cities with 3,000 federal agents.
As a result of the operation, 4,000 arrests were made, and two U.S. citizens were dead.
Border czar Tom Homan confirmed from Minneapolis that a “significant drawdown” is already underway.
He asserted that most agents have returned to home bases or have been deployed elsewhere.
A small footprint will remain to close out what the administration called “Operation Metro Surge.”
Homan said: “As a result of our effort here Minnesota is now less of a sanctuary state for criminals.”
Earlier, Minnesota leaders strongly condemned the operation. Tim Walz described it as “an unprecedented federal invasion in all aspects of life.”
“The long road to recovery starts now, they left us with deep damage, generational trauma. They left us with economic ruin in some cases,” he added.
Minnesota officials remain skeptical.
Minneapolis City Council President Elliot Payne said, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan echoed: “I won’t believe it until they’re actually gone.”
They also criticise the fact that no announcement was made by the administration when it wound down similar operations in Los Angeles and Chicago last year.
Homan’s announcement also reconfirmed “that mass deportation is still on the table and will continue to be our goal,” and cooperation with local jails has “actually enhanced our ability to enforce and deport aliens with minimal visibility.”

Stefon Diggs split makes Cardi B cry at first Little Miss Drama Tour show
Cardi B became visibly emotional on stage as she opened her Little Miss Drama Tour, addressing fans just days after sparking split rumours with NFL star Stefon Diggs.
The rapper fought back tears during the first show of the two-month tour on Wednesday night at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California.
In a moment captured on TikTok, Cardi paused before addressing the crowd, saying, “I do not want to get emotional.”
She then offered a brief but heartfelt message to fans, adding, “I just want to tell you, don’t let nobody take your happiness away from you,” before launching into Maroon 5’s Girls Like You.
The emotional moment came shortly after speculation grew around the state of her relationship with Diggs following Super Bowl 2026.
During the championship game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, Cardi appeared noticeably distant when an ESPN reporter asked if she had any motivating words for Diggs before kickoff.
She simply replied, “Good luck,” before walking away.
Although Cardi made a brief appearance during Bad Bunny’s halftime performance, she was seen leaving straight afterwards.
Soon after the game, which ended in a dominant win for the Seahawks, fans noticed that Cardi and Diggs had unfollowed each other on social media, further fuelling breakup rumours.
The apparent shift surprised many supporters, especially as Diggs had previously hinted at a possible engagement.
Speaking to reporters on Super Bowl opening night, he said, “It’s on the agenda. Maybe, right? I gotta get [my Super Bowl ring] first.”
At the time, he also spoke warmly about Cardi’s support throughout the football season, calling her an “amazing woman” and expressing how much he valued her presence.
He said he appreciated her being there for him, not just at games but also through constant check-ins and messages before and after matches, making sure he was doing well.
Cardi and Diggs welcomed a son together in November. Cardi is also a mother to Kulture, seven, Wave, four, and Blossom, one, whom she shares with her ex-husband Offset.
While neither Cardi nor Diggs has publicly confirmed a split, the singer’s emotional opening night performance has left fans concerned and speculating about what comes next.
For now, Cardi appears focused on her tour, leaning into her music as she navigates a very public and personal moment.

Andrew’s neighbours break silence on former Prince new life
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has finally said goodbye to his Windsor property and relocated to Sandringham to start a new life out of the public eye.
The neighbours of the former prince have shared insight about the King Charles III’s younger brother’s arrival to their area after his exile from his favourite Royal Lodge.
The former Duke of York has temporrrarily moved into a much smaller accommodation at Wood Farm as renovations continue at Marsh Farm, which is set to become his permanent home.
The locals were asked about their thoughts on Andrew’s relucation to their area, responding: “It’s a 50/50 split, some are disgusted with his potential behaviour, but others say he hasn’t been convicted and he’s innocent until proven guilty. I sit somewhere in the middle.
“I think it would be better for him to be brought in [by the police] if he is innocent, as he says,” he told Hello!.
Locals in the area were asked about their feelings regarding the arrival of Andrew, and their responses were mixed.
83-year-old Abraham Bruin, who was visiting the estate, said: “I’m a little bit flabbergasted myself. If he’s an outcast and living on the estate, he’s not an outcast, is he?”
Another added: “Really, he’s going back to luxury, isn’t he? He’s being waited on hand and foot.”
“The press are all down there. The villagers don’t like that. It’s a quiet village,” said the third one.
They also stated that the home is “too close to the road” and that a home, ”out in the woods that’s surrounded by trees and no other houses… would have been better.”
Andrew was kicked out of the luxury Windsor pproperty last week after the latest release of the Epstein files.
