News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Amy Morris. A federal judge has heard arguments on whether to halt Minnesota's immigration crackdown after two people were fatally shot by government officers. The state of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul sued the Department of Homeland Security, arguing that the situation on the street is dire and requires the court to stop federal immigration enforcement actions. The lawsuit asks the judge to order a reduction in the number of federal law enforcement officers and agents in Minnesota and limit the scope of the enforcement operation. It is not clear when the judge might rule. President Trump posted on social media that he will send White House border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight.
Trump says Homan will, quote, report directly to me. Laura Davison, Bloomberg News Deputy Washington Bureau Chief, says this opens speculation about the future of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
Lots of chatter really going back several months about how long Kristi Noem may stay in that role. But there's a clear sign here that the administration, Republicans on the Hill are really not happy with how the use of force is happening in Minnesota. I'll also note that Noem and Holman have often been at loggerheads.
Laura Davis in Bloomberg News, Deputy Washington Bureau Chief on Bloomberg Surveillance. President Trump says he and Governor Tim Walz seem to be on a similar wavelength. Trump posted on social media that Walz called him this morning and was happy that Tom Holman, the White House border czar, was going to Minnesota. Trump says they'll talk again. Governor Walz's office described his call with President Trump this morning as productive. Republican Chris Medel says he is ending his campaign for governor of Minnesota, saying that he cannot support the national members of his party and their, quote, retribution on the citizens of the state.
United States citizens, particularly those of color, live in fear. United States citizens are carrying papers to prove their citizenship. That's wrong. ISIS authorizes agents to raid homes using a civil warrant that need only be signed by a Border Patrol agent.
That's unconstitutional and it's wrong. Medell says he supported the original stated purpose of Operation Metro Surge, but says that operation has expanded, quote, far beyond its stated purpose on true public safety threats. And a growing number of Republicans are joining Democrats in calling for a full investigation into the shooting death of Alex Preddy, an ICU nurse. Trump must now weigh whether to ramp up or scale back that crackdown.
What recent legal developments are impacting immigration enforcement in Minnesota?
A recent poll shows a majority of voters disapprove of Trump's handling of key issues and his administration's immigration tactics. And Democrats have threatened to shut down the government unless Republicans strip funding for the Department of Homeland Security. with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer vowing to block a massive spending package. Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall.
The issue with that, though, is that any changes to the broader spending package would have to get kicked back down to the House and the Crown of Washington until February 2nd, which means that they would have to come back in early. And we're already starting to see some issues and delays on Capitol Hill related to the weather.
Now, even if that spending package is blocked, ICE has already been appropriated $75 billion through fiscal 2029. through the Republican spending package approved back in July.
