US EditionTrump holds 2-hour meeting with Noem amid backlash to Minneapolis shooting: Report
The meeting addressed backlash over federal immigration enforcement after the shooting of Alex Pretti; border czar Tom Homan will oversee operations amid leadership changes, officials said.
- On Monday evening, President Donald Trump met nearly two hours in the Oval Office with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, Susie Wiles, Karoline Leavitt, and Steven Cheung,
- At Noem's request, the meeting addressed growing tension after Saturday's killing of Alex Pretti amid national backlash and Republican criticism over federal immigration operations in Minneapolis.
- Bystander video and social-media claims revealed federal immigration agents removed a gun from Alex Pretti's waistband moments before he was shot at least 10 times, contradicting Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino's unsupported claims.
- The administration immediately shifted leadership by sending Tom Homan, border czar, to Minneapolis with direct presidential oversight, while Gregory Bovino, Border Patrol chief, is expected to leave and Democrats and New York Governor Kathy Hochul demand funding cuts and Noem's resignation.
- Questions about oversight persist as Homeland Security Investigations leads the federal probe into Saturday's shooting with FBI support, while Justice Department civil-rights inquiries remain unopened and internal tensions surfaced without Stephen Miller.
