"President Donald Trump said he got along swimmingly with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) when the two spoke on the phone on Monday during a Tuesday interview with Fox News' Will Cain. The president discussed the call which focused on Trump sending Border Czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to lead his crackdown on illegal immigration following the shooting death of Alex Pretti during an interview on The Will Cain Show."
"Cain said he was fascinated by the call, considering Walz branded ICE the president's modern-day Gestapo and compared Trump's raids on illegal immigrants to Nazis capturing Anne Frank. The president seemed to shrug it all off, though. It couldn't have been a nicer conversation, Trump gushed. And in fact I said to my people, it's hard to believe that's the same guy I watch on television or I watch in the debate not doing so well."
"Trump talked to Walz after Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino said Pretti intended to massacre immigration agents because he was carrying a 9mm gun; DHS Secretary Kristi Noem made similar comments over the weekend, saying Pretti intended to kill. Those comments appeared to have led to Trump swapping them out for Homan, with Bovino reportedly ousted and expected to retire soon."
President Trump said he had a cordial phone conversation with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz focused on sending Border Czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to lead immigration enforcement after the shooting death of Alex Pretti. Walz had previously criticized ICE and compared raids to Nazi actions, but Trump described the call as very reasonable and said the parties agreed state and local police should work with federal immigration agents. Trump also criticized Joe Biden for poor border defense and said his administration has been forced to clean up the situation. The call followed comments by Border Patrol and DHS officials that Pretti intended to kill immigration agents, and Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino was reportedly ousted amid the review.
