A small security force will remain to protect agents and respond to agitators. The operation, deemed successful by the United States===United States Department of Homeland Security, faced criticism due to increased volatility, protests, and the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens, Killing of Renée Good and Killing of Alex Pretti, by federal officers. Despite the drawdown, Tom Homan stated that enforcement would continue in the Twin Cities and mass deportations would persist nationwide. Officers leaving United States===Minnesota will be reassigned.
