"Trump on Monday announced he would send his border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to oversee immigration operations following Pretti's killing. Unlike the broader ICE enforcement surge currently underway in the state, Homan has reportedly favored deportations focused on people he considers criminals and national security threats. Reducing Border Patrol officers Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino and some federal agents will be leaving Minnesota on Tuesday, according to local leaders and multiple media reports."
"Trump has repeatedly clashed with Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after the president sent thousands of federal agents to the state. Trump on Monday said he and Frey had a "very good" conversation and "lots of progress" was made - discussions he said would continue Tuesday with Homan. The president also said similar progress was made with Walz, noting the two "seemed to be on a similar wavelength.""
"Reality check: Trump has sharply attacked both leaders in recent weeks, posting just days ago that they were "inciting Insurrection." The Justice Department earlier this month launched an investigation into Walz and Frey for allegedly obstructing federal law enforcement officers in their state."
President Trump sent border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to oversee immigration operations after Pretti's killing. Homan has favored deportations focused on people he considers criminals and national security threats, in contrast to the broader ICE enforcement surge previously underway. Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino and some federal agents will leave Minnesota, a sign of a possible de-escalation. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said there is a definite change and a more collaborative tone. Trump reported "very good" conversations and "lots of progress" with Mayor Jacob Frey and said he and Walz seemed on a similar wavelength. The Justice Department opened an investigation into alleged obstruction by Walz and Frey, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has referred to some victims as "domestic terrorist" suspects.
