With Border Czar Tom Homan headed to take charge of Homeland Security efforts in Minneapolis and President Donald Trump finding some common ground with Gov. Tim Walz, a rapid reduction in tensions is thankfully well under way.
Alex Pretti’s death plainly prompted a sobering all around, as it should.
We’re glad to see Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem elbowed aside. Her performance in recent weeks as the situation in Minnesota escalated out of control did not serve the president or the country well.
Without anyone backing off on matters of principle, state and federal leaders now can find some accommodation —

So I guess the knives are out for Kristi Noem?

There may be some unknown reasoning behind this development but it smells too much like weakness. We shall see.

Walz, Frey and Omar are the problem, not Noem.

This was all created to overshadow the 3rd world fraud in MN, and to distract from the state Government's complicity in it. Once the useful idiots have outlived their usefulness, they will be sent home to await the next outrage order.
As always, crickets from the Attorney General's office. AGs have been Trumps biggest failure, with a zero percent record. Apparently in today's America, crime pays.

Bull. NOEM is taking the correct action. Signal Chat takes it far beyond peaceful protesting. Your wish wish washy approach is disturbing. Hopefully Tom will be successful.

This doesn't have a good smell to it.
Sounds a lot like a Walz win.

This so called change of heart has nothing to do with Pretti's death. And, how is all this on Kristin Noem? The editorial board had little to say about Timmy and Frey and how they caused all this by outright working against ICE (to the point of insurrection), but it was heavy on criticism of those working to fix the mess.
"Tom Homan is no shrinking violet, but he’s always been laser-focused on getting the violent criminals out; Walz would be wise to offer him maximum cooperation now."

I visited Minneapolis decades ago to attend a national conference. It was a very nice town at that time, and they had created a clever tourist catch phrase, claiming to be "The Mini Apple", as opposed to NYC. The logo was an apple with some snow on top. Nice city.
Today, I have no desire to visit a place that is proud of a statue of George Floyd, attempting to make a legend out of a drug-head thief. I want to remember it as it was, and don't even want to spend a few minutes at a stopover at their airport. There is something bad in the water in that city.

There shouldn't be any 'backing off' anywhere...ICE is arresting and deporting ILLEGALS, who shouldn't be in this country in the first place...the rioters are inciting violence against agents of the FEDERAL government..they should be treated as treasonous persons..

Once again, could it be that Trump got it wrong again. Yes, Tom Homan should have been involved up front on Minnesota. Big question, where was he? Kristi Noem did what should be done. As I see it, Walz, Frey, Ellison and the crazy anti-ICE groups won. We the average taxpayers in the U.S. want ALL the illegals gone. There is proof that they are stealing us blind. They suck up our social services. Send them back to their country and tell them apply legally. If Trump removes Kristi, this is a huge mistake. As I see it, Tom Homan was absent during this crap in Minnesota and he needs to take some responsibility. If he lets anyone go, try Pam Bondi.

That weasel Bret Baier is jumping on the 'get ice out' bandwagon. Watch their news slant develop from here.

The anti-Kristi Noem snark at the beginning of this article is unwarranted, and unappreciated. Trump has made a decision to use the insurrection hammer, and sent Homan to Minnesota to personally deliver the message. Noem is doing a great job, and cannot do more without the National Guard, or the military. Trump has decided to send Homan to Minnesota to deliver the message that the hammer is coming, or else.

Might be a good idea to let the area cool off and for the useful idiots to go home. The illegals will still be there in a month for another roundup.
