How the call settles
YES if the federal government rejects Mayor Jacob Frey's demand or continues ICE enforcement operations in Minneapolis through 2026-02-07; NO if the federal government announces and carries out a withdrawal of ICE agents from Minneapolis in response to that demand by 2026-02-07.
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because Border czar Tom Homan announced on February 4, 2026 that only about 700 of roughly 2,700-3,000 federal immigration agents (about 25%) would leave Minnesota, describing it as a tactical shift rather than a full withdrawal; Mayor Frey called it 'not de-escalation' and said he would 'believe it when I see it.' Operation Metro Surge continued with thousands of remaining agents and did not officially end until February 1.... Applied stored rule: YES if the federal government rejects Mayor Jacob Frey's demand or continues ICE enforcement operations in Minneapolis through 2026-02-07; NO if the federal government announces and carries out a withdrawal of ICE agents from Minneapolis in response to that demand by 2026-02-07.
Outcome evidence
Border czar Tom Homan announced on February 4, 2026 that only about 700 of roughly 2,700-3,000 federal immigration agents (about 25%) would leave Minnesota, describing it as a tactical shift rather than a full withdrawal; Mayor Frey called it 'not de-escalation' and said he would 'believe it when I see it.' Operation Metro Surge continued with thousands of remaining agents and did not officially end until February 12, 2026 -- after the February 7 resolve-by date -- so ICE agents were not removed from Minneapolis by the deadline.
