Overview
- Border czar Tom Homan is taking over Minneapolis operations as Gregory Bovino departs the city and returns to his El Centro post, with some federal agents expected to leave starting Tuesday.
- The White House is weighing fewer deployed agents, a narrower ICE mission focused on deportations, closer coordination with Minnesota authorities, and possible body‑worn cameras for immigration officers.
- President Trump rejected an aide’s “assassin” label for Alex Pretti and called for an honest investigation, while criticizing Pretti for legally carrying a firearm and loaded magazines.
- Multiple verified videos show Pretti holding a phone, being subdued, and officers removing a holstered gun before shots were fired, contradicting initial DHS claims of a defensive shooting; police say Pretti was a licensed carrier with no criminal record.
- Pressure is mounting on DHS as Republicans demand investigations and potential administrative leave for involved agents, Democrats threaten to block department funding, and a federal judge ordered acting ICE director Todd Lyons to a contempt hearing over separate compliance issues.
