Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino is no longer in Minneapolis.

And instead, Border Czar Tom Homan has been sent in.

So Bovino was in Minneapolis leading the immigration enforcement operation there.

He himself is...

is a Border Patrol commander, but he had been put in charge of Operation Metro Surge, which is the operation currently taking in Minneapolis.

And in that role, he oversaw not only the agents, but also, you know, the raids and the patrols that would take place there.

However, because of the controversy and criticism following the shootings of Rene Good and Alex Pretty, the administration went ahead and pulled him out of Minneapolis and replaced him with border czar Tom Homan.

Now, Tom Homan, many people don't realize, led the ICE deportation efforts under Obama.

He was also the acting director of ICE during Trump's first term, but he now serves as the border czar under Trump's current administration.

Homan held his first press conference today since being in Minneapolis, and he revealed a few things.

So for one, he said that he has ordered officials from CBP and ICE to start working on a plan to reduce the number of federal agents in Minnesota, but that the execution of that plan is dependent on

on cooperation from local law enforcement.

Cooperation meaning local jails notifying ICE about detainees that are eligible for removal.

That is the way that it was done when Obama was in office.

That's also the way that it's done in red states.

So right now,

Obviously, there's a bit of a cooperation issue between the administration and blue states.

This is something we've been hearing about for months now where blue states or local law enforcement and state law enforcement in these blue states are not necessarily wanting to comply with.

ICE.

But in past administrations, that's typically what happens.
