Who is Tom Homan? The 'border tsar' Trump has sent to Minnesota

Tom Homan arrives in Minneapolis to oversee immigration enforcement amid city unrest and federal actions.
The administration seeks a more de-escalatory, targeted approach rather than broad neighbourhood sweeps.
White House discussions included reducing agents in Minnesota and increasing coordination with state authorities.
Homan met Minneapolis leaders on day one to discuss priorities and investigations.
Officials emphasize accountability as investigations proceed into the two shootings in Minneapolis.
Homan previously served as acting ICE director from 2017 to 2018 under the Trump administration.
Homan has defended only targeted enforcement, not sweeping neighbourhood operations.
The appointment is described as a sign of White House policy recalibration rather than a pullback.
Homan faced scrutiny over a 2024 bribery claim later dropped by the Justice Department.
The broader context links Homan’s Minnesota role to Operation Metro Surge and federal coordination.
