Can the madness end in Minneapolis?

Trump Says He Wants to De-escalate in Minnesota

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino was replaced by White House border czar Tom Homan this week to lead the ongoing illegal immigration enforcement.

Trump’s latest comments come after the fatal shooting of an armed man by federal agents Saturday in Minneapolis and pleas from state and local officials to withdraw ICE. The president explained in a Fox News interview Tuesday afternoon that the deescalation isn’t a pullback of resources but rather a change in leadership.

Trump said the ICE protests in Minnesota could be easily resolved but are being led by paid agitators and insurrectionists.

Although there’s been thousands of “hardened” criminals arrested in the state under the leadership of Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino, Trump conceded maybe he wasn’t the right person to lead the mission, dubbed Operation Metro Surge.

“Bovino is very good, but he’s a pretty out there kind of a guy, and in some cases, that’s good,” Trump said on Fox News. “Maybe it wasn’t good here.”

Bovino was replaced by White House border czar Tom Homan this week to lead the ongoing illegal immigration enforcement. As tough as Homan is, Trump said, he gets along with governors and mayors.

Hopefully, Tom Homan will be able to stop the madness in Minneapolis. Trump has changed his leadership there to solve it but Homan will be dealing with the same characters.
