The Trump administration has reportedly begun deploying up to 2,000 Department of Homeland Security personnel to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area for a monthlong surge targeting immigration enforcement and alleged large-scale fraud.
The operation includes hundreds of Homeland Security Investigations agents and up to 1,500 ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers, supported by tactical teams and senior supervisors, officials told CBS News.
The deployment, which began Sunday, is among the largest DHS concentrations in a U.S. city in recent years.
HSI agents are expected to expand fraud probes tied to federally funded programs while ICE officers focus on arrests of migrants with deportation orders.
