WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has launched its largest immigration enforcement operation, with plans to deploy up to 2,000 federal agents to the Minneapolis area. This move began over the weekend and targets alleged fraud involving Somali residents. Officials on Monday described it as one of the largest single-city mobilizations by the Department of Homeland Security ever. Most personnel come from ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, focusing on immigration arrests and deportations. Homeland Security Investigations agents are also involved, investigating fraud and unlawful employment practices. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was seen participating in an arrest over the weekend.
