• On the ground: White House Border Czar Tom Homan will address the press in Minneapolis after being sent to take the reins on the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota. ICE officers in the state were directed to avoid engaging with “agitators,” and only target “aliens with a criminal history,” according to an internal memo reviewed by Reuters. • Alex Pretti shooting: Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey said footage showing a clash between Pretti and federal agents over a week before he was killed did not justify the protester’s killing. Federal officers involved in the shooting are on administrative leave per standard protocol, DHS said. • Trump warning: President Donald Trump has again shifted tone on Minnesota, warning Frey he’s “playing with fire” if Minneapolis doesn’t enforce federal immigration law. Frey has maintained that local authorities will not carry out federal immigration enforcement. New video shows Alex Pretti clashing with federal agents 11 days before his death. Laura Coates explains why past encounters, even ones that raise new questions, are legally irrelevant to determining whether officers were justified in using deadly force. A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration acted illegally when terminating legal protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans and Haitians working and living in the US, alluding to “real and significant consequences.” Three presiding judges at the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem had exceeded her authority when she ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for people who fled the two countries for the US, upholding a lower court ruling.
