Border Czar Takes Swipe at Kristi Noem Over ICE Drawdown

The Trump administration says it will withdraw 700 law enforcement officers from Minnesota after getting “unprecedented cooperation” from local authorities in the wake of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s departure from the state.

Border czar Tom Homan made the announcement on Wednesday, taking a veiled swipe at Noem, his longstanding rival who led the charge in Minneapolis as tensions escalated following the deaths of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti last month.
