2,000 agents deploying to Minneapolis in immigration crackdown, fraud probe

CBS News reports that the Trump administration has begun a massive deployment, perhaps of as many as 2000 as Department of Homeland Security agents, to the Minnesota Twin Cities. The plan is for a 30-day surge in operations in the Twin Cities area, "making the region the first major target of the Trump administration's expanded immigration crackdown in the new year, officials said. Agents deployed from Homeland Security Investigations are expected to probe alleged cases of fraud . . . ." 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commander Gregory Bovino, who has overseen immigration operations in Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte and New Orleans, is expected to soon arrive in Minnesota.
