Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump has reiterated his confidence in Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, even as tensions escalate in Minnesota following the death of a second protester shot by a federal immigration officer. The White House confirmed the president’s position in a statement to CNN on Monday.

“Secretary Noem will continue to lead the Department of Homeland Security with the full confidence of the president,” a senior U.S. official told the network.

The announcement came shortly after Trump declared on his Truth Social account that he is dispatching his “border czar,” Tom Homan — a veteran immigration enforcement official — to Minneapolis to oversee federal operations on the ground.

Some observers interpreted the move as a potential sign of diminished trust in Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol chief who has been directing the operation under Noem’s authority.

Two Deaths Heighten Tensions in Minnesota

Latest victim: Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old American nurse, was fatally shot on Saturday by federal immigration agents during protests in Minneapolis against ongoing immigration raids.

Escalating crisis: Pretti’s death marks the second fatality linked to federal enforcement actions in the city, intensifying public anger and fueling calls for accountability.

Political Fallout

Criticism from opponents: Democratic leaders have accused the administration of excessive use of force. California Governor Gavin Newsom charged that Trump is deliberately provoking violence to justify invoking the Insurrection Act, and demanded the resignation of both Noem and Bovino.

White House stance: Officials insist the deployment is necessary to restore order and protect communities, framing the unrest as a failure of local Democratic leadership.

National Security Implications

Federal vs. local authority: The deployment of immigration officers into domestic protests raises questions about the scope of DHS’s role in internal security.

Strategic signal: Trump’s decision to stand firmly behind Noem, while elevating Homan’s role, underscores his hardline approach to immigration enforcement and public order.

Risk of polarization: The Minnesota crisis could become a flashpoint in federal-state relations, with broader consequences for national stability and security.
