President Trump’s decision to send Border Czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis has already delivered a major victory. In just three days, Homan has secured a significant agreement with Minnesota Democrat officials to stop releasing public safety threat illegal aliens back into the community and allow them to be lawfully transferred to ICE custody. Speaking at a press conference in Minneapolis on Thursday morning, Homan confirmed the breakthrough: “What we did agree upon — is NOT to release public safety arrests back into the community, and they can be lawfully transferred to ICE.” This is a direct blow to sanctuary-style policies that have shielded criminal aliens and fueled the violent anti-ICE riots plaguing the city.

Homan explained that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison clarified that county jails can now notify ICE of release dates for “criminal public safety risks,” enabling immediate custody. He also noted that the Minnesota state prison system had already been honoring ICE detainers, and that cooperation would be expanded. “I have not asked Minnesota state and local officials to be involved in immigration enforcement, just for them ‘to be cops working with cops to help us take criminal aliens off the street,’” Homan said. Illegal immigrants deemed public safety risks or national security threats will be the priority targets.
This agreement is a game-changer. It allows Homan to draw down the number of federal immigration enforcement officers in Minnesota, knowing local jails will no longer release dangerous criminals back into communities. The deal comes after weeks of chaos: anti-ICE mobs stalking agents, looting federal vehicles, stealing rifles and ammo, assaulting officers, storming churches, and even calling for armed rebellion. All of this violence was incited by sanctuary politicians like Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, who have refused to cooperate with ICE and labeled deportations “kidnapping.”
Trump sent Homan to take control of ICE operations on the ground after the disorder spiraled, including clashes that resulted in the deaths of two U.S. citizens. At the press conference, Homan acknowledged that the operation so far had been flawed, but the new cooperation with local jails is a major step forward. “Tom Homan means business,” one observer summed it up. In three days, he turned resistance into results.
The left is furious. They’ve spent weeks defending criminals, cheering the riots, and demonizing agents—now they’re forced to hand over the very people they’ve shielded. The agreement exposes the failure of sanctuary policies and proves Trump’s strategy works: pressure local officials, enforce the law, and watch the chaos collapse. Homan’s success is a warning to every blue city: cooperate or face the consequences.
This is America First in action—secure borders, protect communities, and hold the line against lawlessness. The riots are ending, the criminals are going home, and the radical left is learning the hard way that their “resistance” has limits.
