Yeah, good morning, John.
You know, it would be hard to describe the situation as calm.
As we've reported, the riots have sort of ebbed and flowed.
And as this viral footage from just yesterday shows, rioters continue to wreak havoc in some areas.
In one particularly wild situation in St.
Paul, a group of anti-ice agitators attempted to break into a home-to-suites hotel where they thought immigration agents were staying.
And there was only one officer there to fend off the mob.
That Bureau of Prisons officer ended up bloodied and asking where in the world were the local police.
So, you know, it's amid all of this chaos that President Trump announced a big change coming to the operation there.
Yeah, I've spoken with several sources within the federal government who say that they're happy Homan will be coming because, frankly, they're losing trust in Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
And it's because of not only her response here to Rush to say that Alex Peretti was a, quote, domestic terrorist, but also that he showed up armed with ammo on Saturday, quote, to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.
It's also drawn some criticism from congressional Republicans like Senator Tom Tillis, who came out against Noem's response and have also expressed higher confidence in Homan's ability to carry on this operation.
You know, the truth is, with this video of the shooting, it's not as clear cut as the ones that emerged after the ice involved shooting of Renee Good.
And some of the details of what led up to this latest shooting are so murky.
And the federal government is investigating that.
Yeah, it will likely lead to some changes.
You know, Homan and Noam have been sparring over how the mass deportation campaign should look.
Homan, who's a law enforcement guy who started in Border Patrol and then he later headed to ICE, wants ICE leading the campaign and he wants them to be making more quality arrests, meaning
their focus more on finding the worst criminal illegal immigrants.
But on the other hand, Noam wants numbers and she doesn't seem as concerned with who they're getting as long as they're here in the country illegally.
