Tom Homan addressed reporters for the first time since the president sent him to Minneapolis following last weekend's fatal shooting of protester Alex Pretti, the second this month by federal officers carrying out the operation.
Homan emphasized that the administration isn't relenting on its immigration crackdown and warned that protesters could face consequences if they interfere with federal officers.
“I do not want to hear that everything that’s been done here has been perfect.
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.
On Thursday, a smattering of protesters braved the frigid temperatures to demonstrate outside of the federal facility that has been serving as the operation's main hub.
