YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMick Mulvaney, acting White House chief of staff in Trump’s first term, said the administration's reset on its immigration crackdown is the most significant pivot Trump's ever made, and it's the right response to the public furor that's arisen over the killings of two US citizens in Minneapolis.
Donald Trump said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem would remain in her post despite the president’s decision to reshuffle the leadership running his deportation effort in Minnesota following widespread outcry over the killing of two US citizens by federal agents.
“I think she’s doing a very good job,” Trump told reporters Tuesday as he departed the White House for a trip to Iowa. “The border is totally secure.”
The public vote of confidence came a day after the president ordered the shakeup in the aftermath of the Jan. 24 fatal shooting of 37-year-old intensive care nurse Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol agent during an enforcement operation.
Trump’s decision to dispatch border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota, effectively replacing Greg Bovino, the US Border Patrol commander who became the face of the contentious immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, spurred widespread speculation that the president may be frustrated with how his deportation efforts are being carried out and viewed by the public.
Trump’s expression of support for Noem suggested he wasn’t immediately looking to further upend his immigration team. Still, the president indicated he was pleased by the reaction to his decision to appoint Homan, a Noem rival within the administration seen as more focused on targeted enforcement than broad street operations.
“He’s meeting with the governor, and he’s meeting with the mayor, I think, later, and I hear that’s all going very well,” Trump said of Homan.
