Border czar Tom Homan headed to Minnesota 

President Trump said on social media Monday that Border Czar Tom Homan will head to Minnesota, after a federal immigration agent killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti on Saturday in Minneapolis. Pretti was an intensive care unit nurse at a local veterans hospital.

It’s the second killing this month of a Minnesota resident by a federal agent in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
