Hill Democrats – and Even some Republicans – Plot an Exit for Noem

Federal immigration crackdown in Minneapolis triggered political backlash including leadership changes and threats of a government shutdown by Senate Democrats.

  • Saturday, a federal immigration operation in Minneapolis resulted in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, prompting bipartisan blowback and calls for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's ouster as President Trump sent border czar Tom Homan to the Twin Cities and engaged Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
  • Noem's initial account was later contradicted by bystander videos, and several Trump administration officials rushed to social media, intensifying criticism as Leavitt emphasized swift, accurate updates Monday.
  • Starting Tuesday, U.S. Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino and some federal agents will leave Minnesota, while Leavitt called Bovino a `wonderful man' and named Tom Homan as the Minneapolis contact.
  • U.S. District Chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz ordered senior testimony and demanded ICE chief Todd Lyons appear in court Friday to explain why he shouldn't be held in contempt.
  • Amid criticism, the NRA described Bill Essayli's comments as `dangerous and wrong,' and Gun Owners of America called them `untoward,' while Leavitt warned about increased `risk of force being used against you.
