US President Donald Trump said on Monday he is sending his border czar, Tom Homan, to Minnesota to take direct control of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse, by a Border Patrol agent.
Trump said Homan will report directly to him, sidelining Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as the administration faces fallout from an enforcement operation linked to two US citizen deaths in Minneapolis within three weeks.
