Trump dispatches border czar Homan to Minnesota after second fatal shooting
Tom Homan will lead ICE operations amid protests after two fatal shootings in Minnesota, where only 37% approve of federal agents, according to a recent poll.
- On Monday, Jan. 26, President Donald Trump announced he would send Tom Homan to Minneapolis to lead federal immigration enforcement, following the Jan. 24 shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents.
- More than 3,000 immigration agents are in Minneapolis, which Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison called `the single largest deployment of immigration officers in one place at one time`; Minnesota state officials sued for access to DHS-controlled evidence and court orders to end the surge.
- Video and eyewitness accounts contradict the administration's characterization of the encounter as Homeland Security officials say agents fired in self-defense after Alex Pretti resisted with a handgun.
- As Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino and some agents leave, Tom Homan will take charge on the ground, and Governor Tim Walz said the president agreed to consider reducing agents and ensuring an independent BCA investigation.
- Observers say it's unclear whether Homan's dispatch is an escalation or a retreat, and online trackers of immigration raids show enforcement continues amid protests and planned vigils as residents say they are afraid.
