Border czar Tom Homan said Thursday that “massive changes” are happening in Minneapolis in the aftermath of two 37-year-old protesters shot dead by federal agents.

The border honcho said he struck an agreement with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison to let federal agents nab illegal immigrants from state prisons and county jails – a move he said would allow for safer arrests of criminals and less unrest in the streets.

“I’ve been on the ground less than three full days,” Homan said in his first press conference since President Trump dispatched him to Minnesota. “I’m staying until the problem’s gone, but we’ve made a lot of progress — a lot of progress — in the last few days.

“We can do better,” Homan later added. “And I thank the local state leaders for meeting with me, we made some significant gains, significant coordination and cooperation, and you’re going to see some massive changes occurring here in this city.”

Homan arrived late Monday at Trump’s request to calm the city following the fatal shootings of two anti-ICE protesters, 37-year-old Renee Good, who was killed on Jan. 7, and ICU nurse Alex Pretti, also 37, who was gunned down in a struggle with border agents on Jan. 24.

He swiped at sidelined Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and trench-coat-wearing Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino and warned far-left groups that “justice is coming” if they obstruct lawful operations.

In recent days, Homan has met with Democrats Walz, Ellison and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to discuss ways to defuse a weeks-long running riot in Minnesota’s largest city. 

“I had a very good meeting with Attorney General Ellison, and he has clarified for me that county jails may notify ICE of the release dates of criminal public safety risks, so ICE can take custody of them,” Homan explained. 

While the state does honor immigration detainer requests in state prisons, county jails have a mixed record, according to the MinnPost. State law prohibits immigrants from being held behind bars on a detainer if they’d otherwise be released from police custody. 

Ellison said he relayed those limitations to Homan.

“I also reiterated that in Minnesota, it is against the law to hold an incarcerated person solely on an ICE detainer if there is no other legal reason to hold them, a fact I clarified in a legal opinion nearly one year ago,” Ellison said in a statement, per MinnPost. “This is a fact that county sheriffs and chiefs of police recognize and accept and Mr. Homan did not dispute.”

Homan has long called for access to local jails in Minnesota as a condition for reducing personnel on the ground.

“Based on the discussions I’ve had with the governor and the AG, we can start drawing down those resources,” Homan said, noting that the feds will likely now be able to target criminal illegal immigrants “in a jail with much less people.”

“So the drawdown is going to happen based on these agreements, but the drawdown could happen even more if the hateful rhetoric and impediments stop.”

Under the 64-year-old’s recalibrated approach, the feds will focus on pursuing criminal illegal aliens in targeted operations — though Homan made a point of saying that migrants without a criminal record are also subject to apprehension and removal. 

Homan did not specify to what extent the Trump administration plans to reduce the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis, which currently number about 3,000 personnel.

But one of the factors driving the potential pullout is state officials agreeing to work more closely with the feds to allow access to illegal immigrants arrested on criminal charges.

“We will conduct targeted enforcement operations,” he added. “Targeted with a prioritization on public safety threats. I want to be clear — we are not surrendering the president’s mission on immigration enforcement.”

Still, he cautioned that the Trump administration will redeploy personnel if cooperation from local authorities wanes.

For months, Homan had been rumored to be feuding with Noem over strategy. Homan wanted the Trump administration to take a more targeted approach, prioritizing dangerous illegal immigrants with criminal histories, while Noem and Bovino wanted to go after everyone in the US illegally, Fox News reported. 

Now it appears that Homan is getting his way.

“I didn’t come to Minnesota for photo ops or headlines,” Homan stressed in reference to Noem’s penchant for joining immigration agents on ride-alongs and Bovino’s propensity to court confrontation with local officials. “I came here to seek solutions, and that’s what we’re going to do, and we’ve come a long way.”

“I’m not here because the federal government has carried this mission out perfectly,” he added at another point. “First thing I said to senior staff when I walked in there is … I don’t want to hear that everything that’s been done here has been done perfect. Nothing’s ever perfect. Everything can be improved on.”

Confrontations between federal authorities and agitators have plagued the weeks-long operation, with Homan pledging there would be consequences for organizers.

“I’m not going to show our hand,” he said. “Justice is coming.”

“You have your First Amendment rights. I support that. We ask you to keep your peace. But threatening law enforcement officers, engaging, impeding and obstruction, is never OK. There will be zero tolerance. If you interfere, impede, assault, ICE officers, you will be arrested.”
