US EditionHoman Dispatched to Minneapolis, Bovino Exits; Millions Dig Out Amid Deep Freeze
Tom Homan replaces Gregory Bovino to lead ICE operations amid protests and legal challenges following two fatal federal agent shootings in Minnesota, with about 3,000 federal officers involved.
- On Tuesday, the White House implemented a leadership change in Minnesota's enforcement operation by naming Tom Homan to lead ICE and report directly to the White House as Gregory Bovino departs.
- Protests outside presumed federal lodging sites grew amid public outrage as the state of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul sued to reduce officers and curb Operation Metro Surge.
- Video evidence and agency statements highlighted disputed details about the shooting as an administration attorney said about 2,000 ICE and at least 1,000 Border Patrol officers were on the ground in Minnesota.
- Within 48 hours, the White House signalled a partial retreat and engaged Minnesota officials as Bovino departed, softening tone and promising talks amid calls for Kristi Noem's removal Tuesday.
- The case could set precedents for other states' exposure to federal enforcement as attorneys general from 19 states and the District of Columbia filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting Minnesota.
