A Professional': Tim Walz Praises Tom Homan But Says He Still Wants ICE Out of Here'

"Well, Tom Homan's a professional, which is a lot more than Bovino and Kristi Noem. But look, I think the thing we said is we're very clear about this, that we need these folks out of Minnesota. And we need justice for Renee Good and for Alex. And those were things that we came with. I think the thing that I'm most concerned about is the tone was different. There was a tone shift."

"I wish it was because of the horrific, you know, shooting that somebody saw some morality, but I think it's probably the press. But with that being said, I'm not interested in a more efficient metro surge, I'm ready for them to get out of here, and I think that's what Minnesotans are talking about. So it was progress. Look, I never got a call from Bovino or Noem nothing, no, nothing when they're coming here,"

Tom Homan was dispatched to Minneapolis to oversee immigration enforcement after Border Patrol agents killed Alex Pretti. Governor Tim Walz met with Homan and described him as a professional, contrasting him with Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem. Walz said Minnesotans want federal agents removed and justice for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. He said he perceived a tone shift from federal officials, likely driven by press scrutiny, and rejected a more efficient metro surge in favor of removal. Walz noted that Homan called late, landed, and met him at nine, while Bovino and Noem made no contact. Walz called the meeting progress but insisted on a return to normalcy.
