2,000 Officers Headed To Minnesota

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Homeland Security says it has launched in Minnesota what it’s calling the largest immigration enforcement operation ever carried out by the agency. A U.S. official and a person briefed on the operation say about 2,000 federal agents and officers are expected to be deployed in the Minneapolis area. They spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the operation. Federal authorities say the move began over the weekend and targets alleged fraud involving Somali residents. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was seen participating in an arrest over the weekend as part of the crackdown.
