The decision comes after state and local officials agreed to work together to transfer detained migrants held in state custody, Homan said, reducing the need for federal personnel on the streets.
At the same time, Homan emphasizes that the federal effort itself continues.
"I'm not leaving until we're completely finished," he says.
Around 3,000 federal officers, including agents from the immigration agency ICE and the Border Patrol, have recently been stationed in the state.
The announcement comes after the high-profile shootings in Minneapolis in recent weeks, where two American citizens protesting against the hunt for undocumented migrants were shot dead by ICE and Border Patrol agents.
The events have sparked strong protests among Minnesota residents.
