Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in an interview on Sunday that “hundreds more” federal officers will be sent to Minneapolis on Sunday and Monday to carry out immigration-related operations in the city.

“We’re sending more officers today and tomorrow, they’ll arrive, there'll be hundreds more, in order to allow our ICE and our Border Patrol individuals that are working in Minneapolis to do so safely,” Noem told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
