Immigration chief departing Minneapolis as Trump sends border tsar Tom Homan to scene

AI Summary

long article 4 min

Following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino and some immigration agents are departing the city. Tom Homan, a "border tsar" who reports directly to President Trump, will be leading on-the-ground efforts. This move may signal a shift in the administration's approach to immigration enforcement after the shooting, which has escalated tensions and been disputed by eyewitnesses and the victim's family. Pretti's death is the second shooting of a Minneapolis resident by federal immigration officials since their arrival. Despite this change in leadership, online tracking suggests immigration raids are continuing.
