Will a new leader for ICE operations quiet tensions in Minnesota?

January 28, 2026·11m

After the shooting of Alex Pretti, the Trump administration is making a leadership change in Minneapolis. Will anything change? A new Trump administration official has taken over the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. Tom Homan, the White House’s so-called border czar, takes over after the departure of Border Patrol’s Gregory Bovino, who has been the public face of the operation, including encounters that left two American citizens dead. NPR's Scott Detrow talks to The Atlantic investigative journalist Caitlin Dickerson about Homan's background and what it will mean for Minneapolis.
