Trump Dispatches Border Czar Tom Homan to Minnesota Amid Escalating Tensions After Second Anti-ICE Protester Killed

President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan is headed to Minnesota as a “tough but fair” potential peacemaker amid growing tensions following the killing of a second anti-ICE protester in the state.

“I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight,” Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social. “He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there. Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me.”

Homan, who has called for toning down “the rhetoric” in Minnesota, is viewed by many protesters and ICE critics as part of the problem. Trump has already admonished Democrat Gov. Tim Walz and Democrat Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for refusing to cooperate with federal forces in the state.

Trump further referenced his longstanding position that the unrest stems from Democrats seeking to distract from massive fraud investigations, potentially implicating Gov. Walz. “Separately, a major investigation is going on with respect to the massive $20 Billion Plus Welfare Fraud that has taken place in Minnesota,” Trump’s statement continued. “This fraud is at least partially responsible for the violent organized protests going on in the streets.”

The president also noted that the Department of Justice and Congress are examining “Congresswoman” Illhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING and is now reportedly worth more than $44 Million. “Time will tell all,” Trump added. “Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT.”
