Trump Border Czar Says ICE Made No Mistakes in Minnesota, Blames Victims
Tom Homan, Donald Trump's border czar, denied that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents made mistakes during deadly shootings in Minnesota, instead blaming the victims for their own deaths. Speaking outside the White House, Homan claimed that two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were protesting ICE operations in Minneapolis, would be alive if they had complied with law enforcement. He argued that non-compliance justifies lethal force, a stance criticized as ignoring legal norms. The article notes that since Trump's return to office, ICE agents have shot and killed 11 people, including recent incidents in Maine and Houston where victims were legally present in the U.S. Homan's remarks come amid Democratic lawmakers withholding Department of Homeland Security funding over alleged operational mistakes.
