They haven't been doing that.
So we saw that shift, and that's when Border Patrol really came in to boost the numbers to get more people off the streets who are here illegally, not necessarily going after people with the worst criminal histories first, which was how the mass deportation campaign started.
Homan, however, Tom Homan, the border czar, who's now been brought in to replace Bovino, is in the camp of wanting more of those quality arrests.
He wants us to get those really hardened criminals off the streets.
And he's an ICE guy.
He was head of ICE before this.
And so Trump brought him in and said, report directly to me, which is interesting because he's not asking him to report to the DHS secretary.
And he's saying, you know, possibly
we're hearing that they could be looking at changing the target list, saying maybe we should shift and go after more of the worst of the worst.
And then also a lot of this depends now on is Governor Walz going to deliver on letting people be handed over from the jails into ICE's hands for arrests rather than continuing to perpetuate these really dangerous sanctuary policies?
So we've seen some state police that are keeping back rioters who were trying to go into a hotel.
They said Gregory Bovino was staying.
We saw just one instance of that.
And that could be a glimpse into what this deal was that Trump had discussed with the governor there.
But we're still waiting to see what comes to fruition.
We know Homan himself met with the governor this morning.
And so
there's still ongoing talks, there's still ongoing negotiations into what access ICE will have when for years and years and years, Minnesota has been releasing illegal immigrant criminals out of jails and hasn't been cooperating with ICE, hasn't been sharing immigration status at all with them.
And when they're lodging detainers, when they're putting a formal request in with a, let's say, county or city jail saying,
You have this person in your custody that we're aware of who's an illegal immigrant who's committed a crime.
