President Trump’s decision to send Border Czar Tom Homan has paid dividends that should ease tensions and enable ICE and CBP agents to focus us their attention elsewhere.
During a press conference in Minneapolis on Thursday, Homan announced that he had reached an an agreement with state officials such as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison.
Homan told reporters that Minnesota officials have agreed to hand over criminal aliens to ICE.
“What we did agree upon is not to release public safety arrests back into the community, and they can be lawfully transferred to ICE,” Homan explained to reporters.

Homan went on to explain that Minnesota officials will also notify ICE when dangerous criminal illegals are being released so that ICE can pick them up.
“Attorney General Keith Ellison clarified for me that county jails may notify ICE of the release dates of criminal public safety risks so ICE can take custody of them, upon their release from the jail,” the Border Czar said.
Due to this agreement, ICE agents will now begin pulling back in Minnesota so they can focus on other targets elsewhere.
“Yes, I said it, Draw down,” Homan quipped.
