Border Czar Tom Homan announced on Thursday that he has reached agreements with local and state officials to "draw down" the number of federal agents in the city.
Saying "massive changes" are coming to Minneapolis, President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan announced on Thursday that he has reached agreements with local and state officials that would eventually "draw down" the number of federal agents in the city.
Homan, who Trump sent to Minneapolis on Monday to find a solution to the boiling tensions that have emerged in the wake of the fatal shootings by federal agents of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, said that immigration enforcement operations are going to be focused on targeting people who are threats to the safety of the community.
"We will conduct targeted enforcement operations -- targeted; what we've done for decades," Homan said. "When we hit the streets, we know exactly who we're looking for, have a good idea of where we may find them."
Homan said that he and State Attorney Gen. Keith Ellison reached a breakthrough when Ellison "clarified" that county jails may notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials in advance of "criminal public safety risks" being released so ICE agents can take them into custody.
"We didn’t agree on everything. I didn’t expect to agree on anything," Homan said. "I’ve heard many people want to know why we’re talking to people who they don’t consider friends of the administration. Bottom line is, you can’t fix problems if you don’t have discussions."
