Homan to Scale Back Minnesota ICE Agents if Local Officials Cooperate
Is this a commonsense safety partnership or ransom for ending Trump's brutal tactics?

The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
Federal agents deserve cooperation, not hostility. Minnesota officials finally agreed to notify ICE when dangerous criminals are released from jails, allowing a safer drawdown of street operations. This commonsense partnership protects communities while honoring the law.
Anti-Trump narrative
The Trump administration's brutal tactics killed two Americans and terrorized communities with masked agents breaking into homes. Now Homan demands jail access as ransom for ending the chaos his own operation created. Minnesota already shares information on felons under existing law.
