FULL PRESSER: Tom Homan says operations will be 'targeted', strives for accountability

Border czar Tom Homan said on Thursday that he will stay in Minneapolis "until the problem is gone" after President Donald Trump tapped him to lead an immigration crackdown, following the departure of Border Patrol commander at large Gregory Bovino from the state. "I've been on the ground less than three full days. I got in here on Monday. The President of the United States called me Monday morning and asked me to deploy here," Homan told reporters. "Got here Monday evening, and I'm staying till the problem's gone." Homan added that Trump promised the American people, including residents in Minnesota, that he would work to make sure communities are safe and ensured the administration "is absolutely focused on identifying removal aliens that pose a public safety threat and national security threats." He also highlighted his recent talks with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and Attorney General Keith Ellison, noting that while there were disagreements, they agreed on cooperating with local officials and strengthening community safety. "In my meetings with folks so far, and most importantly, the governor and the AG, the Mayor Frey, we didn't agree on everything," Homan explained. "I didn't expect to agree on anything. I've heard many people want to know why we're talking to people who they don't consider friends in administration. Bottom line is you can't fix problems if you don't have discussions." Homan said that if agreements are put in place, eventually fewer agents will be on the streets. _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: Mid-Michigan NOW on Facebook:   / midmichigannow   Mid-Michigan NOW on Twitter:   / nbc_25   Subscribe to Mid-Michigan NOW on YouTube:    / @midmichigannow   For more news, visit https://midmichigannow.com/ Have a news tip?
