Speaker Mike Johnson was pressed to explain on Sunday whether the Trump administration’s shakeup of immigration enforcement standards in Minneapolis needed to include a broader change of leadership than merely the departure of Greg Bovino, former commander for the Border Patrol – and whether he still had faith in DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
While Johnson eventually signaled his support for Noem, it was clear that the Cabinet secretary remains in the crosshairs of many critics of the Trump administration’s brazen enforcement strategies that have included a massive ICE presence in Minneapolis and raids targeting local businesses and homes.
