President Donald Trump pumped the brakes on talk of reducing the number of federal immigration agents in Minnesota amid a tumultuous and deadly month.
On Thursday, Border Czar Tom Homan held a press conference in Minneapolis, where he acknowledged that agents could improve how they have conducted themselves in the wake of two deadly shootings in the city.
He also announced a “drawdown plan” that would reduce the number of agents in the area, provided certain benchmarks are met.
Hours later, Trump attended a screening of Melania at the Kennedy Center, where he took questions before the showing:REPORTER: Will you be pulling back immigration enforcement agents out of Minnesota?
Bovino, like Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, falsely claimed the agents acted, despite video showing agents removing Pretti’s legally-permitted firearm from his waistband before shooting him 10 times.
