I had just wondered about this on another du post--and up it pops.
President Donald Trump has announced he will send Tom Homan to Minneapolis, an apparent benching of DHS honcho Kristi Noem, who has reportedly been at odds with the border czar.
Trump announced the move via his Truth Social platform on Monday morning, two days after the shooting of Minneapolis VA nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents.
“I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there,” Trump said in the post. “Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me.”
Trump’s announcement came mere minutes after Fox News host Brian Kilmeade suggested as much on Fox & Friends.
