Homan tells Minnesota leaders to say ‘thank you’ instead of demanding reimbursement as ICE operation ends
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Border czar Tom Homan said Minnesota leaders should be grateful that the Trump administration made their state safer after some called on the federal government to reimburse damages they claim were caused during immigration enforcement operations.
“A lot of things were broken, but it wasn’t because of Trump administration,” Homan said Sunday on “Fox & Friends Weekend.”
“The border — last four years, over 10 million illegal immigrants crossed that border. That was broken. Where were they then? Did Gov. Walz speak out against that, with the overdose deaths and the sex trafficking and… terrorists? No.”

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey publicly requested federal funds after what they described as the major economic impact of recent immigration enforcement operations, while Homan argued the mission was a “great success” that made Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests safer and reduced sanctuary-style barriers to cooperation.
Frey claimed his city sustained “$203 million in economic impact in just January alone.”
“And so we’re calling on the federal government to fully step up, to provide direct financial assistance to our city,” he said at a press conference.

Walz said the federal government needed “to pay for what they broke.” He proposed a $10 million emergency relief package for small businesses across the state affected by the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
The proposal calls for forgivable loans ranging from $2,500 to $25,000 to be distributed to eligible businesses that are able to demonstrate “substantial revenue loss” during “specified dates” tied to Operation Metro Surge.
Homan argued that Democrats “broke the border” and President Donald Trump repaired it, adding that Minnesota refused to work with ICE because it is a “sanctuary state.”

“Their county jails weren’t working with us across the state. So, you know what? We fixed it. They ought to be saying thank you. The state’s safer because of that,” he said, adding that ICE agents are also much safer making arrests in a jail than on the street.
The border czar also pointed to “over 4,000 arrests,” including “14 illegal aliens with homicide convictions, [and] 87 [with] sexual assaults, mostly of children.”

Man found dead in south Minneapolis house fire
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Firefighters are investigating the Minneapolis’s second fire fatality of the year after a man died in a house fire Saturday afternoon.
Fatal fire on 28th Avenue South
What we know:
According to the Minneapolis Fire Department (MFD), fire crews arrived shortly after 1:00 p.m. and found smoke coming from the second floor of a single-family home on 28th Avenue South. Bystanders alerted firefighters that someone might be trapped inside.
Crews had to work through heavy debris to reach the upstairs area. It took about 40 minutes to fully put out the fire.
During the primary search, firefighters found a man in his 60s dead on the second floor. No one else was found after searching all the floors.
Minneapolis Animal Care and Control took in a dog found outside the home.
Assistant Chief Wes Van Vickle said, “The department is grateful to the neighbors who alerted fire crews that someone may still have been inside, allowing them to act quickly.”
Fire safety reminders and community response
What they’re saying:
“This afternoon’s tragic loss of life weighs heavily on all of us, and we extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased,” said Van Vickle.
He also encourages the public to regularly check and maintain smoke detectors and fire extinguishers at home.
There were no other injuries reported. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner is working to confirm the man’s identity.
What we don’t know:
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, and the man’s name has not been released.
