News When You Want It with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Amy Morris. President Trump is indicating that he'll make changes to his administration's deportation crackdown in Minnesota after the killing of two U.S. citizens during immigration raids sparked nationwide uproar. Trump says he'll consider independent investigations into those shootings and reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota. Democrats are threatening to shut down the government unless Republicans strip funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer is 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.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt is urging the Senate to pass a bipartisan appropriations bill. And even if that spending package is blocked, ICE has already been appropriated $75 billion through fiscal 2029 through the Republican spending package that passed last summer. Schumer released a statement saying that the responsibility to prevent a shutdown is now on Senate Majority Leader John Thune's shoulders. A federal judge has heard arguments on whether to halt Minnesota's immigration crackdown after those two deadly shootings. The state of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul sued the Department of Homeland Security, asking the judge to order a reduction in the number of federal law enforcement officers and agents in Minnesota and to limit the scope of that operation.
It is not clear when the judge might rule. Trump administration officials insist the officer who killed a Minneapolis protester was immune from prosecution while on duty. Robert McWherter, a constitutional and criminal defense lawyer, says that's just wrong.
Federal agents, including ICE agents, have a qualified immunity for the conduct of their federal duties. That does not give them immunity from a homicide charge. You don't have the right to violate the Constitution, barge into people's homes. You cannot say the killing of a protester is within your official duties.
lawyer Robert McWhirter on balance of power. President Trump posted on social media he'll send White House border czar Tom Holman to Minnesota tonight. Laura Davison, Bloomberg News deputy Washington bureau chief, says this opens speculation about the future of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
What changes is Trump considering for his deportation strategy?
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 Homan have often been at loggerheads.
Laura Davison, Bloomberg News Deputy Washington Bureau Chief on Bloomberg Surveillance, and White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt says Greg Bovino will continue to lead Customs and Border Patrol.
Mr. Bovino is a wonderful man, and he's a great professional. He is going to very much continue to lead Customs and Border Patrol throughout and across the country. Mr. Homan will be the main point of contact on the ground in Minneapolis.
And the Associated Press says it looks like Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis tomorrow and take some CBP officers with him.
