Minneapolis live updates: ICE arrest powers expanded, memo says

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a social media post on Monday that border czar Tom Homan will be managing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Minnesota and coordinating with those investigating the alleged fraud in the state.

"Tom Homan will be managing ICE Operations on the ground in Minnesota to continue arresting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens," Leavitt said in the post on X. "In addition, Tom will coordinate with those leading investigations into the massive, widespread fraud that has resulted in billions of taxpayer dollars being stolen from law-abiding citizens in Minnesota."

A federal court hearing is set for Monday after a judge granted a temporary restraining order preventing Trump administration officials from destroying any evidence related to Saturday’s fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by a federal agent.

A separate hearing is also scheduled on Monday on whether to temporarily halt the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that the government is not destroying evidence with respect to the Pretti case and called the state of Minnesota's claims they are "a show."

"There's an ongoing investigation, as we've said all weekend,” Blanche told "Fox and Friends" on Monday. "And obviously, we're not destroying evidence. And so, to the extent that the state of Minnesota wants to make this a show and go in front of a judge to insist that we do something we're absolutely not ever going to do, we'll be there."

President Trump announced that he'll be sending his border czar, Tom Homan, to Minnesota on Monday night.

But the president is also continuing to try to draw attention away from the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti over the weekend by focusing on other issues in the state, including writing about the alleged fraud there and mentioning Rep. Ilhan Omar.

"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. Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me," Trump wrote in a social media post.

Trump went on to claim that the Department of Justice and Congress are investigating Omar, but as of now, House committees are investigating alleged fraud in Minnesota, not specifically Omar.

In a telephone interview with the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, President Donald Trump reportedly asserted that Alex Pretti, the man killed Saturday in Minneapolis by a federal agent, was carrying a "dangerous and unpredictable gun" but promised that the administration was reviewing everything about the shooting.

The president also reportedly declined to say whether he thought the officer who killed Pretti this weekend acted appropriately, according to the Journal.

“We’re looking, we’re reviewing everything and will come out with a determination,” Trump said.

Trump reportedly then went on to criticize Pretti for carrying a weapon at a protest.

“I don’t like any shooting. I don’t like it,” he said. “But I don’t like it when somebody goes into a protest and he’s got a very powerful, fully loaded gun with two magazines loaded up with bullets also. That doesn’t play good either.”

The president reportedly asserted that Pretti had a “very dangerous gun, a dangerous and unpredictable gun,” and added, “It’s a gun that goes off when people don’t know it.”

On the question of how much longer federal authorities would continue to operate in Minnesota, Trump reportedly said, “At some point we will leave.”

“We’ve done, they’ve done a phenomenal job,” he said, without offering a time frame for when that would occur. Asked if agents would be leaving Minnesota, Trump reportedly said, “We’ll leave a different group of people there for the financial fraud.”
