Trump dispatches border czar Homan to Minnesota after second fatal shooting

Tom Homan replaces Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino to manage Minnesota ICE operations amid protests after two U.S. citizen deaths; over 3,000 federal officers involved, officials said.

  • President Donald Trump dispatched Tom Homan to Minnesota on Jan 27 to oversee the response after a weekend fatal shooting and said Homan will report directly to him.
  • After the weekend killing of 37-year-old Alex Pretti during protests, unrest built on an earlier January 7 fatal shooting of Renee Good, intensifying demonstrations in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
  • Operation Metro Surge has deployed approximately 3,000 federal immigration officers to Minneapolis, far outnumbering the roughly 600-member Minneapolis police force.
  • Minnesota Governor Tim Walz met Tom Homan on Tuesday and outlined priorities including impartial investigations and reducing federal officers amid court and congressional challenges.
  • The White House linked unrest to alleged welfare fraud and blamed Democratic leaders, while public opinion and Republican lawmakers in Congress have waned support, creating risks for the administration.
