News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Karen Moscow. We have some breaking news on the jobs front, but first we want to bring you comments from White House border czar Tom Homan, who's holding a news conference in Minneapolis this morning. President Trump sent him to the city to cool tensions over the shooting deaths of two citizens by federal immigration officers this month. Homan says the Trump administration is going to scale down operations in Minnesota and conduct targeted anti-immigration actions.
I didn't come to Minnesota for photo ops or headlines. You haven't seen me. I came here to seek solutions. And that's what we're going to do. And we've come a long way. And we got some good wins for the people of Minnesota, I think. and for the administration and for the safety and security of this city.
MS White House border czar Tom Homan. The president is warning Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry he's, quote, playing with fire for saying he will not change his city's immigration laws. Minneapolis is a sanctuary city, but Minnesota's Department of Corrections says it's handed over dozens of criminal suspects to ICE. Meanwhile, Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar held another town hall last night after a man appeared to attack her with a liquid at an event the night before.
Well, I think my presence here should tell you that the fear and intimidation doesn't work on me.
And that's Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar launched a bid to replace outgoing Governor Tim Walz, centering a race that's drawn national attention after the immigration crackdown in the state turned violent.
These times call for leaders who can stand up and not be rubber stamps of this administration, but who are also willing to find common ground and fix things in our state.
And Klobuchar earned a national profile with a 2020 presidential bid and would be an early favorite in the race. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has stopped enhanced operations in Maine. That's according to Republican Senator Susan Collins. Collins said she had urged Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to stop enhanced enforcement in the state. Talks to avert a government shutdown over the Minneapolis crackdown may be making progress. Bloomberg's David Gurra reports the White House may be moving closer to Senate Democrats' demands.
Without an agreement, the government would shut down on Saturday. Most of the government, I should say, would, including the Department of Defense, Department of Health and Human Services.
What comments did White House border czar Tom Homan make about immigration in Minnesota?
What we see Democrats wanting to do is a kind of carve out here that would leave out the Department of Homeland Security. And in so doing, shortening that funding would give them time to spell out, list more demands here to the administration Republicans for what they'd like to see DHS doing here when it comes to enforcement of immigration policy.
and David Gura is host of the Bloomberg Big Take podcast. The European Union appears poised to sanction Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard over Tehran's deadly crackdown on nationwide protests. The EU's top diplomat said that she expects foreign ministers meeting in Brussels today to agree on adding Iran's Guard to its terrorist list. She said the move would put the Guard on the same footing as al-Qaeda, Hamas, and the Islamic State group. The sanctions would further squeeze the Islamic Republic into as it faces U.S. threats to potentially launch a military strike against it. That's pushing Brent futures higher. They hit $70 a barrel for the first time since September earlier this morning. Currently, Brent is at $70.46 a barrel.
NYMEX crude oil is at $65.19. Now to that breaking economic news crossing the Bloomberg.
