A possible easing of tensions in Minnesota following the shooting of anti-ice agitator Alex Preddy as President Trump makes leadership changes and signals a shift in tone.
Preddy was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents after inserting himself into a Saturday morning law enforcement operation. Officers attempting to arrest Preti, who was resisting, video shows someone shouting, gun, followed by several gunshots. Agents recovering a concealed handgun from Preti during the struggle. The incident is currently under investigation. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem describing Preti as a domestic terrorist, saying, quote, this looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals. and to kill law enforcement, adding that Preti, quote, brandished his firearm. We would later learn that there was no evidence to support those assertions.
Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino with a similar characterization of the events. Both officials later softening their language as video of the incident began circulating. Footage showing Preddy's weapon remained concealed as agents initiated the arrest. Multiple outlets reporting Sunday on internal frustration within DHS, agents concerned that early inflammatory statements from leadership risked eroding trust inside the agency and were proving, quote, catastrophic for the group. Yesterday morning, President Trump announcing border czar Tom Homan would be heading to Minneapolis, writing on Truth Social, quote, Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt at yesterday's press briefing elaborating on Homan's role.
How is the winter storm impacting the U.S.?
Mr. Homan is the point person for cooperating with state and local authorities and corresponding with them, again, to achieve this level of cooperation to subdue the chaos on the streets of Minneapolis. And I would just point out that Mr. Homan is someone who has been lauded for many, many decades for his experience working in law enforcement. In fact, this is a Washington Post headline from nine years ago, 2016. Meet the man the White House has honored for deporting illegal immigrants. And I would remind everyone in this room that it was former President Barack Hussein Obama who awarded a medal to Mr. Homan. So he's obviously very qualified. He has the full trust and faith of the president.
