Trump said the administration would ease its immigration operations in Minneapolis, while Representative Ilhan Omar was attacked with liquid from a syringe at a town hall where she had criticized the crackdown.
President Donald Trump told Fox News the administration would “de-escalate a little bit” its Minneapolis operations, but said it was not a pullback. He also said he rejected the “assassin” label used for Alex Pretti and wanted an “honorable and honest investigation.” White House aide Stephen Miller said officials were reviewing whether Customs and Border Protection agents followed guidance before Pretti was shot.
At a Minneapolis town hall, Representative Ilhan Omar had called for abolishing ICE and demanded that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem resign or face impeachment when a man sprayed her with liquid from a syringe. Omar said she would not be intimidated and continued the event; police arrested the man on an assault charge.
