White House border czar Tom Homan said on Feb. 12 that a significant drawdown of immigration enforcement agents in Minnesota is underway. He proposed that the surge there should end.

Homan touted de-escalation efforts and cooperation between state and local officials and federal immigration agents. Homan and a small number of federal agents will remain on the ground to transition "full command and control back to the field office."

Federal and local law enforcement officers are continuing the search for Nancy Guthrie, mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie. Authorities say they believe she was taken against her will after last being seen at her home on Jan. 31.

FBI agents combed the desert near Guthrie's Tucson-area home on Feb. 11. They also knocked on doors and searched through bushes and boulders in the neighborhood.

Authorities say several hundred detectives and agents are now assigned to the case, which has captured national attention.
