Homan: ICE Surge in Minnesota Has Concluded

Thursday, February 12, 2026

"I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude," Homan said. "A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue into next week."

ICE thinks they can just leave Minnesota after murdering two Americans in cold blood. We will not forget. This administration owns that bloodshed and Democrats should not give an inch on funding.

He's a lying arschloch. He should have just made the announcement and left the podium. Minnesota will definitely be safer with ICE GONE. They created chaos, havoc and murdered people. What a condescending piece of --------.

Minnesota's going to be paying for ICE's destruction for years to come. Homan's "We're leaving Minneapolis fixed" is laughable and insulting.

*** Disgusting Republican Blames Minnesota AG Keith Ellison (D) for Executions of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ***

At the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), a pathetic excuse of a human being, bellowed mindlessly at Minnesota Attorney-General Keith Ellison:

"Two people are dead because you encouraged them to put themselves into harm's way! And now you are exploiting those two martyrs. You ought to feel damn guilty about it. Yeah, sit there and smirk. Smirk. It's sick! It's despicable. You disgust me."

Such phony outrage is Oscar-winning.

Note this miscreant himself used the term "martyr" in his made-for-TV screed.

And DHS, ICE, and the FBI are still not cooperating with the Minnesota BCA homicide investigations of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Nothing these cretins say can believed without verification.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I will believe it when Minnesotans say it's true.

Minnesota should sue the Trump administration for billions to repair the damage they cause to the state.

THIS MISSION WASN'T OVER. IT JUST RAN OUT OF MONEY.

Thanks to all Democrats and a few Republicans standing their ground on DHS funding.

Could be that Homan's announcement has something to do with the fact that DHS funding is KAPOOT on Friday the 13th (how fitting) and that means no paychecks for Trump's Gestapo.

I'm going to assume that they're packing up and leaving while the government is still paying their freight back to whatever hole they crawled out of.

Does this defunding the DHS mean that Trump's Gestapo won't be receiving that $50,000 sign on bonus they were promised for a full five years of service?

Not that they weren't going to get stiffed anyway but they didn't know that.

So ICE Agents are going roam the streets and terrorize people, on their own dime now?

Not likely. Roaming the streets terrorizing people doesn't pay well.

It would probably land them in a county facility with three hots and a cot, if you get my drift.

I assume some of them have homes and families . . . if the neighbors aren't waiting for them with torches and pitchforks . . . and signs that say YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE!

Good stance to have. Remember the story about agents being attacked with a shovel and a broom? Reporting on KSTP today is that the video of that event does NOT match the statements made by those agents. The person arrested has now requested that the charges be dismissed with prejudice.

[Verse 1]
Well, I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down
No, I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down

totally coincidence that this happened soon after the murder of two Americans that set off a nationwide firestorm.

Today, there was another abduction in my community. Thugs still approach constitutional observers with hands on holsters, threatening to deploy pepper spray and unbridled hostility. No evidence of body cams reported by observers today. So, a stand down order has not been issued.

If Pres Trump's militia actually does leave Minnesota, it will take years to recover from the economic damage done to the economy of the state and the city of Minneapolis.

Will Pres Trump be providing the financial resources needed to help the area to recover from the damage he caused to its economy?

Or was that financial damage just another goal of his?

Saying something and doing something are two completely different things.

Also, "ICE surge in Minnesota has concluded"?

What does that mean exactly?

The surge is over but the occupation has just begun?

---- republicans.

I don't really believe it.

This shutdown is likely not effecting ICE operations.

"ONLY 14 % arrested were "non-violent""

Trump promised to arrest the violent ones.
ICE is more violent than the people that are being arrested by ICE.

Trump has failed miserably.
Trump has an 86% failure rate.

Absolute fantasyland BS.

Not caring about the victims is Lumper policy, unless it Gaza fabricated news.

I could be 0% if MN just cooperated with federal detainers.

But snoofy loves him some immigrant sexual abuse on those that can't defend themselves.

you're lying or stupid....the official democrat definition of non violent crimes

is fraud / DUI ( people die from that in case you're dumber than you sound )

kiddie porn....child trafficking ....human smugglers....( people die from that too )

and the two who raped and cut the throat of the 12 year old were not on the violent

list because the people they murdered before her were in Venezuela....

THUS the anecdote about the guys pus filled penis....well 14 % anyway,,,,,

--and I Say this fully understanding that you crud DON'T GIVE A ---- ABOUT WHO DIED A HORRIFIC DEATH

unless they were on duty from signal or a recently fired ranting psychopath who was fired for

improper touching at the VA....

No reason to cooperate with the SA, the SS, the Gestapo, or whatever you want to call these under-educated, under-trained, unpatriotic, goons.

Surprised you haven't signed up. You're a natural.

It was only a diversion. He thought he was a genius. Trump had no idea it was going to cause his downfall.

Now it's time to move on to a war with Iran to divert the media from the Epstein files once again.

This is Trump's way of killing time before the midterms.

At this point, there is no one who is really ever going to be distracted from the Epstein files.

It's popular culture; a soap opera. The entertainment value is too great for Trump to bury.

Oh....A report of two more children murdered by Trump. That gets us to at least four.

This is correct.

There is no coming back from this.

This phenomenon should be called "The Weiner Effect."

ZED @ #26

That's no doubt true. But just because WE know that doesn't mean Trump knows it.

Remember, he's like a rat backed into a corner fighting for his life.

Trump will stage manage any distraction he can think of to give the media something to chew on, i.e. Los Angeles, Venezuela, Minneapolis, a stab at Cuba, etc., etc. .... and now a fake war on Iran. In my opinion, we're being gaslighted.

While the Epstein story won't go away, Trump could at least make it drop down to the number two or three spot in the daily news cycle.

"The Weiner Effect?"

Jesus, Joseph, and Mary, is Andrew Weiner in the Epstein files too?

I wouldn't be surprised, he fits the bill to a Tee.
