President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, went on Carl Higbie’s FRONTLINE and made it plain: the federal government is not backing down in Minneapolis. Homan announced an increase in ICE operations aimed at restoring order after a violent confrontation that culminated in a tragic death, and he made clear the administration will back its agents as they enforce federal law. Conservatives who have watched cities crumble under sanctuary politics should take cheer that the rule of law is finally being brought to bear.
The deployment follows the fatal shooting of 37‑year‑old Renee Nicole Good during a confrontation with an ICE agent in Minneapolis, an incident that sparked massive protests and national outrage. Minnesota officials have opened a criminal investigation even as multiple videos circulate and the truth is being sorted out in court and through official channels. This is not the moment for political theater; it’s the moment for facts and for investigators to do their jobs without intimidation.
Homan has repeatedly urged patience with the investigative process while defending his agents’ training and conduct, insisting he has not seen ICE act outside policy in these operations and promising accountability if officers stray. That measured stance is exactly what Americans should expect from leaders who value both public safety and due process. The left’s rush to demonize law enforcement before investigations conclude only fuels chaos and puts officers’ lives at greater risk.
Homeland Security is answering the unrest with tangible force: hundreds more federal officers are being sent to the Twin Cities to protect ICE and Border Patrol personnel and to carry out targeted enforcement of deportation orders. After years of local leaders who refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement, the American people deserve to see the guarantee of safety restored in neighborhoods ravaged by criminality. If national leaders are finally using federal power to defend citizens, that is a victory for common-sense governance.
Local political tantrums from sanctuary mayors won’t stop these operations, and officials who refuse to do their jobs should be held accountable at the ballot box. Reports show federal authorities are planning focused operations in Minnesota that will target those with final orders of removal, even as city halls posture about civil rights and cooperation. It’s long past time for local politicians to stop protecting lawbreakers and start protecting the people who pay their salaries.
Make no mistake: this is part of a larger national push. Homan has signaled that Minneapolis won’t be an isolated example and that similar enforcement will expand to other sanctuary cities that have abandoned public safety. Blue-city officials who have sheltered criminal aliens must understand there are real consequences when they put political ideology ahead of citizens’ security.
Americans who work hard and play by the rules should demand nothing less than steady enforcement and accountability. Support your law enforcement, insist on transparency in investigations, and remember that protecting citizens is not extreme — it is government’s primary duty. Justice may take time, but make no mistake: after years of being pushed aside by permissive policies, law-and-order is coming back to Minneapolis and to cities across America.
