In January 2026, White House "Border Czar" Tom Homan announced a change in immigration enforcement tactics for Minnesota. Federal immigration agents will now conduct targeted operations instead of broad, sweeping actions. This shift in strategy comes as Homan replaces Gregory Bovino as the head of operations in the state. Bovino, previously described as a "commander at large," is being replaced to implement the new, more focused approach to immigration enforcement in Minnesota. The reason for the change was not explicitly stated in the announcement.
