Trump’s border czar Tom Homan says immigration enforcement will reduce the number of officers in Minnesota but suggested during a news conference Thursday that it would happen only after ‘cooperation’ from state officials.
White House border czar Tom Homan holds a news conference at the Bishop Whipple Federal building on Thursday, Jan. 29, 2026 in Minneapolis.
Homan, who said he wouldn’t address the shootings, emphasized that the administration isn’t relenting on its immigration crackdown and warned that protesters could face consequences if they interfere with federal officers.
“But the drawdown can happen even more if the hateful rhetoric and the impediment and interference will stop.”He also said he would oversee internal changes in federal immigration law enforcement, but he gave few specifics.
He said the agency would conduct “targeted strategic enforcement operations” prioritizing “public safety threats.”It remains to be seen whether ICE’s renewed focus on “targeted operations” might reduce tensions.
