Minneapolis mayor responds after Homan calls operation a ‘success’

• DHS shutdown: A bitterly divided Washington is headed for its third government funding lapse of President Donald Trump’s second term — this time, a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security over the issue of federal immigration enforcement.
• On Trump’s schedule: The president will travel to Fort Bragg in North Carolina today to meet with US military members involved in the capture of ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, according to the White House.
• Gathering in Germany: Overseas, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is attending the Munich Security Conference throughout the weekend, along with more than 50 members of Congress. He is expected to have discussions on Ukraine and Greenland while there.
Democrats have outlined a number of demands during negotiations to avoid a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security over the issue of federal immigration enforcement.
Some of those include:
- the Trump administration ending its “roving” patrols
- independent oversight of ICE
- barring the deportation of US citizens
- forbidding ICE agents from wearing masks.
Another major sticking point: Democrats want immigration warrants to be signed by a judge, not by an ICE agency official.
But Republicans are firmly opposed.
Speaker Mike Johnson has maintained his hardline stance against requiring judicial warrants, saying it would “shut down the deportation of virtually all illegal immigrants.”
Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, have been clear that judicial reform is one of their red lines.
Jeffries said yesterday that Democrats need to see policy changes to ICE’s immigration enforcement that are “bold, meaningful, and transformational” — and that the White House’s latest offer did not meet that bar.
President Donald Trump has events with the military before heading to Florida for the holiday weekend.
Today, the president will travel to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and deliver remarks to military families at 1:30 p.m. ET, according to his public schedule.
The White House said Tuesday that Trump will meet with US military members involved in last month’s operation to capture Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.
After the president and first lady take part in a private military engagement in Fayetteville, NC, they will then travel to Palm Beach, Florida, for the weekend.
At 7:45 p.m. ET, Trump has a private dinner.
On Saturday and Sunday, Trump’s schedule has him holding private meetings at 4 p.m. ET on both days.
On Monday, the president and first lady will return to Washington, DC.
The next round of peace talks among Russia, Ukraine and the United States will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Kyiv and Moscow have confirmed.
It will mark the third round of trilateral talks seeking to reach a peace deal to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, following previous meetings in the United Arab Emirates’ capital of Abu Dhabi.
The Russian delegation will be led by presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said. Military intelligence chief Igor Kostyukov, whose deputy Vladimir Alekseyev was shot in an assassination attempt in Moscow the day after the previous round of trilateral talks finished, had previously led the Russian delegation.
The US is heading toward the third government shutdown of President Donald Trump’s second term.

Rubio says the ‘old world is gone’ as he departs for Munich Security Conference
03:13
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and more than 50 members of Congress are attending the Munich Security Conference, which runs Friday through Sunday.
Here’s what is on his schedule at the high-level gathering of more than 50 heads of state and government:
Rubio believes he will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as the diplomat stressed the need to end the war in Ukraine.
“I think he’s going to be there and there’s a chance to see him. I believe it’s on my schedule, not 100% certain, but I’m sure we will,” he told reporters before departing for Munich yesterday.
Rubio, who gives a speech at the conference tomorrow, says he believes his message will be “well-received.”
Last year, Vice President JD Vance raised eyebrows and rankled allies in his speech lambasting European politicians, claiming they are suppressing free speech, losing control of immigration and refusing to work with hard-right parties in government.
The Munich Security Report 2026 released ahead of the conference had said the world is in an era of “wrecking-ball politics” led by US President Donald Trump, and it’s putting the decades-long prosperous international order under unprecedented strain.
The report labeled Trump one of the most prominent “demolition men.”
Discussions on Greenland
Rubio also said he was sure “someone will raise” the issue of Greenland at the conference, but echoed that the administration is working on it.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said she will meet him at the conference, where the two will plan to discuss Greenland.
“The world order that has been built up since the Second World War, which has been incredibly good also for a small country like Denmark — that’s gone now,” Frederiksen told reporters today. “Now it is a ‘world disorder,’ and it’ll be more about survival of the fittest.”
White House border czar Tom Homan announced yesterday that the federal immigration surge in Minnesota would be ending.
At its height, about 3,000 federal officers were deployed as part of Operation Metro Surge in what was the largest immigration enforcement operation in the country’s history. The surge led to weeks of protests, tense confrontations and the deaths of two US citizens after they were shot by agents.
What we know as the operation comes to a close:
- “Small footprint” of officers to remain: Homan reiterated that while the federal immigration surge is ending, other investigations will continue. “Even though we’re drawing down resources we’re still going to have hundreds of special agents here drawing down on the fraud here from the Somali community and others,” he said. “If we need to come back, we’ll come back.”
- Bodycam footage to be released when “appropriate”: Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott told a Senate committee that body-worn camera footage of the killing of Alex Pretti will be made public “when it’s appropriate.” Scott also said that he never described Pretti as a domestic terrorist to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. After last month’s fatal shootings of Renee Good and Pretti, top Trump administration officials, including Noem, rushed to paint both of them as domestic terrorists who intended to harm law enforcement.
- Walz wants federal compensation: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said the crackdown did serious economic damage to the state. “The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here,” he said. He was speaking at a news conference announcing state plans for subsidized loans to small businesses which Walz says suffered reduced foot traffic because of the crackdown.
- DOJ moves to drop charges: The Department of Justice filed a motion seeking to dismiss criminal charges against two Venezuelan men who officials claimed assaulted a federal agent who then shot one of them in the leg in Minneapolis last month. The motion cites “newly discovered evidence” described as “materially inconsistent with the allegations” in the affidavit.
