From The New York Times, it's The Headlines.

I'm Will Jarvis, in for Tracy Mumford.

Today's Tuesday, January 27th.

Here's what we're covering.

The White House is trying to change course in the face of outrage over the killing of Alex Preddy by federal agents in Minneapolis.

Administration officials initially claimed Preddy was a dangerous threat, even as videos showed he was pinned down and unarmed when agents shot him.

Yesterday, Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt did not defend or repeat those statements.

And in a pivot on the ground, the White House says it has sent Borders R. Tom Homan to oversee operations in Minnesota.

President Trump said Homan will report directly to him.

With Homan going in, the administration is pulling Gregory Bovino out.

The outspoken senior Border Patrol official had become the face of the aggressive tactics federal agents had used in the state.

At the same time, Trump has also backed off his attacks on Minnesota's governor, Tim Walz.

After the two talked on the phone yesterday, he went from blaming Walls for the violence in his state to saying they, quote, seem to be on the same wavelength.

Walls described the phone call to Minnesota Public Radio.

He said he told the president how the current surge of ICE agents has made people afraid to go outside and afraid for their lives.

Meanwhile, The Times has been learning new details about what's happened to some of the Minnesota residents who've been caught up in the administration's immigration operations.

According to lawyers, family members, and faith leaders, more than 100 refugees with no criminal record have been arrested there in recent weeks and flown to detention centers in Texas.

Unlike asylum seekers who arrive at the U.S.

border and try and make a case to stay, people with refugee status have often had extensive vetting and arrived in the country on flights coordinated with the federal government.

But the administration announced earlier this month that it would begin reexamining many of their cases with new background checks, starting with the roughly 5,500 refugees in Minnesota.
