President Trump announced tonight he’s dispatching Border Czar Tom Homan to Minnesota amid ongoing ICE unrest and chaotic protests in Minneapolis, where intensive enforcement operations, detentions and several shootings have ignited mass demonstrations and legal challenges. The administration says the surge targets criminal activity; local officials and protesters accuse ICE of racial profiling and unconstitutional tactics. Trump also urged a DOJ probe of Rep. Ilhan Omar as House Republicans press oversight into her family’s sudden wealth amid a wider Minnesota fraud inquiry. Federal and state investigations and courtroom battles are unfolding as tensions escalate across the state and nationwide now. (theguardian.com)
