Trump describes ‘very good call’ with Walz, signaling ‘similar wavelength’ on Minnesota

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump said he had a very good phone call with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and that they were on a similar wavelength.

  • The president said he would send Tom Homan, White House 'border czar,' to Minnesota to oversee U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations and seek any and all criminals in local custody.
  • Monday's hearings focused on whether to halt ICE enforcement in Minnesota as the State of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul urged U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez to pause federal actions.
  • In a Wall Street Journal interview Sunday, Trump suggested federal immigration enforcement could eventually withdraw from the Twin Cities but said a different team may pursue financial fraud as Operation Metro Surge continues.
