"Conservatives are celebrating President Donald Trump's decision to dispatch border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to oversee immigration enforcement operations in the Minneapolis area, in what was widely seen as an attempt to sideline Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there, declared Trump in a Monday morning Truth Social post. Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me."
"Trump's decision comes just two days after a Border Patrol agent shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. While Noem subsequently claimed that Pretti had arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and kill law enforcement, footage of the incident contradicts her description of it. On Sunday, conservative radio host Erick Erickson suggested that Pretti's death and tense atmosphere in the Gopher State were attributable to Noem's leadership. A lot of what is happening now is Kristi Noem marginalized Tom Homan and the head of Border Patrol because those two prioritized deportations of criminals and gang members."
Trump dispatched border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to oversee immigration enforcement operations in the Minneapolis area and to report directly to him. Conservatives celebrated the move as sidelining Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The deployment followed a Border Patrol agent shooting that killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Noem claimed Pretti intended to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement, but footage contradicted that description. Conservative commentator Erick Erickson blamed Noem's leadership and alleged she marginalized Homan and the Border Patrol chief, prioritizing public round-ups and confrontations over targeted deportations of criminals and gang members.
