Tom Homan Press Conference in Minneapolis

Looking at the text of the posts, I'm a little concerned with the phrasing of "criminal public safety risks"... sounds like something left up to interpretation.

Is an illegal brought in for speeding, no license and no insurance a risk?

Just "violent" stuff?

Theft, robbery?

Drug possession?

What qualifies and who decides?

The only reason they were knocking on doors was due to the state’s unwillingness to turn them over at the courts and prisons.

Homan is by far Trumps best appointee

May notify is not really good enough. Shall notify sounds better.

sounds like a tradeoff. no more knocking on doors, take the ones in jail.

It’s the trade off we want. For a couple of reasons.

1) The leftist foot soldiers will be pissed as hell that there’s any trade off. They will be furious with Minnesota state government.

2) The first people we should be deporting are public threats. If we get to the point we can move to just deporting randos, great. We need to focus on the criminal element first.

Makes sense. Homan was an Obama appointee, decorated, experienced, been doing this for a long time.

He might be corrupt (the cash he clearly took from fbi agents) but at least he’s pragmatic and competent.

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

---

May =/= "shall", which should have been the order. The MN brass are just stonewalling to preserve the status quo as is. No surprise.

Also:

Who makes that determination? That does absolutely nothing to crack down on literally anyone that has entered or remained in MN illegally. That's a bunch of talk and a literal nothingburger. I respect Homan and like the guy. He's too smart to not sniff out the obvious stall tactics that change literally nothing. I hope he has contingencies on deck, or nothing changes.

ETA:

Also again...

^^^ THAT ^^^ is why i will NEVER take Eric Daugherty at his word. That is his own version of reality, and not at all what Homan said. As a "journalist" and "insider", this guy absolutely understands that there's a difference between MAY and WILL. But he's writes it up in the context that it's some huge win, just by putting a cute little spin on the verbiage.

Homan has accomplished nothing except for letting MN officials waste his time. Again, I hope he has contingencies. And if i see Trump tweet out a truth about this "YUGE VICTORY", I'm pretty much done with this admin.
