President Donald Trump said he’s sending Border Czar Tom Homan to Minnesota—where DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has been the prominent face of the administration—amid mass protests against the killing of ICE protester Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol agent Saturday in Minneapolis.

Trump said on Truth Social Homan “has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there.”

Trump also said the massive welfare fraud scheme in Minnesota is “at least partially responsible for the violent organized protests going on in the streets,” without explaining the correlation.
