"Some Republicans on Capitol Hill expressed relief after President Donald Trump announced Monday he would send border czar Tom Homan to handle immigration enforcement in Minnesota after Department of Homeland Security agents shot and killed a second U.S. citizen there. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) said in an interview that the move was "a positive step to get the situation under control" while calling for a "full and transparent investigation" into the two Minneapolis shootings."
"Homan claimed in a Fox News interview Monday that the two deportation flights to El Salvador did not need to be turned around because they were already above international waters when the order came through. "We are going to make this country safe again ... I'm proud to be a part of this administration. We are not stopping. I don't care what the judges think. I don't care what the Left thinks. We're coming," he added."
President Donald Trump sent border czar Tom Homan to oversee immigration enforcement following the shooting and killing of a second U.S. citizen by Department of Homeland Security agents in Minneapolis. Some Republican lawmakers publicly expressed relief and called for a full and transparent investigation into the incidents. Homan defended ongoing deportation operations, asserting flights did not need to be turned back because they were over international waters and declaring aggressive enforcement intentions. Homan has signaled plans for mass deportations and has supervised operations in major cities, raising concerns that communities facing enforcement may resist and that tensions could escalate.
