President Donald Trump is sending Border Czar Tom Homan to Minnesota amid ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations which are being met by far-left demonstrations.

Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Monday morning.

"Governor Tim Walz called me with the request to work together with respect to Minnesota. It was a very good call, and we, actually, seemed to be on a similar wavelength... Crime is way down, but both Governor Walz and I want to make it better!" - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/ZjrSDU8uAz

Karoline Leavitt noted:

Tom Homan will be managing ICE Operations on the ground in Minnesota to continue arresting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. In addition, Tom will coordinate with those leading investigations into the massive, widespread fraud that has resulted in billions of taxpayer dollars being stolen from law-abiding citizens in Minnesota.

Trump also noted in his post that the Department of Justice and Congress are reviewing Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

“Additionally, the DOJ and Congress are looking at ‘Congresswoman’ Ilhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars,” he wrote.

The post comes after Trump’s Sunday night post called on Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D-MN), among other Democrats, “to enforce our Nation’s Laws” in coordination with the Trump administration:

1. Governor Walz and Mayor Frey should turn over all Criminal Illegal Aliens that are currently incarcerated in their State Prisons and Jails to Federal Authorities, along with all Illegal Criminals with an active warrant or known Criminal History, for Immediate Deportation.

2. State and Local Law Enforcement must agree to turn over all Illegal Aliens arrested by Local Police.

3. Local Police must assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes.

4. Democrat Politicians must partner with the Federal Government to protect American Citizens in the rapid removal of all Criminal Illegal Aliens in our Country. Some Democrats, in places like Memphis, Tennessee, or Washington, D.C., have done so, resulting in safer streets for ALL.

Interesting . . . hope this is a good sign . . . https://t.co/Br3dnp5HTT

Trump also urged Congress to pass a bill putting an end to sanctuary cities.

“In addition, I am hereby calling on the United States Congress to immediately pass Legislation to END Sanctuary Cities, which is the root cause of all of these problems,” he said.

“American Cities should be Safe Sanctuaries for Law Abiding American Citizens ONLY, not Illegal Alien Criminals who broke our Nation’s Laws,” he continued.

The president stressed that his “requests are rooted in COMMON SENSE.”

“The Trump Administration is standing by, and waiting for ANY Democrat to do the right thing, and work with us on these important matters of MAKING AMERICA SAFE like it is in all sections of our Country where we are, together with Local Leadership, participating and involved,” he concluded.
