Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, was sent to Minneapolis to address federal immigration operations following two fatal shootings involving agents, admitting 'no agency is perfect' while vowing to restore order.
Tom Homan, President Trump’s border czar, has arrived in Minneapolis to manage federal immigration operations after the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, which led to CBP Commander Greg Bovino being stood down. Homan pledged to remain 'until the problem is gone,' acknowledging that 'no agency is perfect' and that 'improvements could and should be made,' but also insisted he would not be 'surrendering the president’s mission.' The two federal agents involved in Pretti’s death have been placed on administrative leave, and a video surfaced showing a prior confrontation between Pretti and agents. This situation has intensified backlash against the Trump administration, drawing criticism from figures like Bruce Springsteen, and prompted a federal judge to block ICE arrests of refugees in Minnesota. Governor Tim Walz met with Homan, describing him as 'professional' but reiterating the demand for federal agents to leave Minnesota, highlighting the broader political and social tensions surrounding the events.
