Trump's Border Czar Is No Better Than Bovino
Donald Trump’s border czar threatened Minnesota with the continued presence of federal troops—despite the recent killings of state residents.
Tom Homan issued the threat as part of a presentation on Thursday morning touting purported adjustments to the administration’s mass deportation program.
Homan is replacing beleaguered Border Patrol leader Gregory Bovino as the face of the Trump administration’s actions in Minnesota, apparently based on a “Fox and Friends” segment that Trump watched earlier in the week.
In his press conference, Homan claimed the administration would consider a possible drawdown of forces from Minnesota—but then issued a threat.
“The withdrawal of law enforcement resources here is dependent upon cooperation,” Homan said.
