Who is funding the anti-ICE protests in Minnesota?
Borders are Tom Homan getting to work in Minnesota, working to increase cooperation with state and local officials after clashes over federal immigration enforcement, including last weekend's fatal shooting of anti-ice agitator Alex Preddy during a confrontation with a border agent. The White House laying out three key demands it has of Minnesota officials, which it says are necessary to begin reducing the thousands of federal agents currently operating in the Twin Cities. One, turn over all illegal aliens currently incarcerated in their prisons and jails. 2. Turn over all illegal aliens who are arrested by local police. 3. Assist federal authorities in apprehending and detaining illegal aliens who are wanted for crimes.
All of that is currently prohibited by the sanctuary city policies governing Minneapolis and other Minnesota counties, which ban virtually any and all cooperation with ICE. The only additional White House demand that might be honored by a sanctuary city is that the locals turn over any illegal aliens who have active warrants for their arrest. In other words, all illegals for whom the feds have a criminal arrest warrant. This is already something even sanctuary cities are supposed to do, though some still refuse in blatant violation of federal law. Former acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf tells AM Update Tom Homan is the right man to negotiate these demands with local officials.
It's a stroke of genius from the president sending Tom Homan in. He's got a very unique skill set. He's a 30-year operator both at Border Patrol and ICE. He understands the mission and the operational requirements and what is needed. So he's able to talk to the governor and the mayor directly. At a very operational and tactical level of we need access to this type of information for us to do our job. We need local police to do these three things, not everything, but these three things to be successful. And so he's able to talk to him at a very, I think, different level than others that that perhaps have been have been talking to them.
Governor Walz suggesting Monday in the Wall Street Journal that Minnesota is already cooperating with federal immigration authorities, writing that his Department of Corrections quote, honors all immigration detainers, meaning if ICE has marked anyone for deportation who happens to be arrested in Minnesota, state authorities will notify ICE if the person's in custody or is about to be released from jail.
