"The Trump administration has replaced Greg Bovino, the Border Patrol official who was the public face of immigration operations in Minnesota, with Border Czar Tom Homan. Bovino returns to his previous job in California. President Trump yesterday called Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to discuss the ongoing immigration crackdown in the state. Walz described the president's tone as appearing earnest and more collaborative. Frey said Trump agreed that the present situation in the state cannot continue."
"As protests and vigils grow for Renee Macklin Good and Alex Pretti, mourning Minneapolis residents are demanding justice, Matt Sepic of Minnesota Public Radio tells Up First. Thousands of masked federal agents remain in the streets. Residents are pressing for some assurance that the killings will get a proper investigation. Sepic says there is no indication that the state police and their federal counterparts are working together to investigate the fatal shootings by federal agents."
"Trump is expected to hold a rally in Iowa today, where he will preview his administration's campaign message ahead of the midterm elections. The event comes as some Republicans criticize his immigration crackdown, which has led to widespread chaos and death. The president expects to shift the focus by discussing the economy and energy prices. The ongoing crises at home and abroad are overshadowing Trump's economic agenda, says NPR's Franco Ordonez."
