Trump Changes Tack in Minnesota After Rare GOP Pushback
Briefly

""We're looking, we're reviewing everything and will come out with a determination," Trump said."
""He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there," Trump wrote of Homan on TruthSocial."
""Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me.""
Federal officials quickly alleged domestic terrorism and offered a version of events that appeared to contradict footage after Alex Pretti was killed by a federal agent. Widespread pushback, including from several Republicans, prompted President Trump to announce an investigation and to send new leadership to Minneapolis. Trump said investigators are reviewing the encounter and will determine the outcome. Tom Homan was dispatched to lead ICE operations and will report directly to Trump, a move presented as a rebuke of certain DHS and Border Patrol officials. Pretti, an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA, sparked national outrage and calls for inquiries and agent withdrawal.
