Note the reasoning in bold.
Tom Homan's closest ally is warning that Trump's mass deportations effort could collapse in the next 24 hours if Trump retreats in Minneapolis.

>>>Immigration hardliners warn that any deal by Homan that leads ICE agents to scale back their presence in Minnesota will be seen as a collapse of Trump’s mass deportation agenda and a win for liberal protesters.
These concerns come after Trump said in a
Fox News interview on Tuesday that Homeland Security would 'deescalate a little bit' in Minneapolis.
Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project and a longtime ally of Homan who has just been sent to Minnesota, is praying that his longtime friend won’t strike any deal with the Democrats who run the state. Howell has a longstanding professional relationship with Homan that goes back years over their shared views on immigration.
Rather, he said, Homan should hold the line
and even surge more forces
into the Twin Cities to avoid handing protesters a victory that could spell the end of the movement.
‘The mass deportation agenda could be completely wound back within the next 24 hours,’ Howell told the Daily Mail on Tuesday.
It's unclear what Homan's strategy will be during his negotiations with Democratic leaders and the ultimate decision will be left for Trump to decide.
A source close to the White House warned that if Trump blinks on mass deportations it would be the ‘biggest betrayal’ of Republican voters since George H.W. Bush broke his no-new-taxes promise and watched his presidency unravel in 1993.
‘If Trump backs down on deportations, he might as well pack it in. It will be the biggest betrayal to the base since George HW Bush raised taxes,’ the White House insider told the Daily Mail.<<<
