White House border czar Tom Homan says immigration enforcement in Minnesota will shift to more targeted operations focusing on those with criminal records as federal agents remain in place amid intense backlash following fatal shootings during previous sweeps. Homan said a drawdown of federal agents could happen if state and local officials cooperate with ICE and allow access to jails for safer custody transfers and pick-ups.

On January 27, 2026, a man rushed the stage at a Minneapolis town hall and sprayed Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with an unknown liquid from a syringe as she addressed the audience, in a shocking and widely shared incident that has sparked national debate and condemnation from both sides of the aisle. Just moments earlier, Omar was speaking critically about U.S. ICE and urging political accountability when the disruption occurred. Security quickly tackled and restrained the suspect, later identified as 55‑year‑old Anthony Kazmierczak, who was arrested and booked on third‑degree assault charges. WATCH
