Trump Offers to Downsize ICE in Minneapolis Because 3,000 Agents Are Too 2020
KEY POINTS
- â˘President Trump told Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Monday he would look into reducing federal immigration agents in Minneapolis amid growing pressure.
- â˘Following the shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti, White House officials initially accused Pretti of domestic terrorism but later urged investigations to 'let the facts lead.'
- â˘Trump confirmed sending former acting ICE director Tom Homan to Minneapolis and agreed to let Minnesota investigators work on the Renee Nicole Good shooting case.
On Monday, President Trump tossed a lifeline to Gov. Tim Walz, agreeing to *consider* reducing the 3,000 federal immigration agents in Minneapolis after the chaotic shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti. With DHS brass Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller declaring Pretti a domestic terrorist faster than a TikTok trend, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt backpedaled to âlet the facts leadââlike a diplomat with roller skates. Trump also proudly announced that former acting ICE head Tom Homan would be sent to Minneapolis reporting directly to him, because nothing screams crisis response like airlifting in your own border czar. All this drama unfolds while Minnesota still investigates Renee Nicole Goodâs January 7 killing by ICE, an investigation Trump is now 'on the same wavelength' about. Welcome to 2026, where federal agents outnumber locals, dead nurses get labeled terrorists, and chaos meets coordination in the most 2020 way possible.

Nothing says 'we got this' like 3,000 ICE agents in Minneapolis and Trump sending his personal border czar while calling a murder investigation a 'very good call.' America's new normal: political clown car meets federal hostage crisis.
Trumpâs plan to reduce ICE agents in Minneapolis sounds like cutting down the fire department because you like smoke more than fire.
Only in 2026 can an ICU nurse be called a domestic terrorist before facts arrive, and the border czar reports directly to the President like a WWE manager.
