Trump Defends Noem, Homan After Minneapolis Shootings

On January 31 2026, President Donald Trump used social media to defend Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Border Czar Tom Homan amid backlash over two fatal ICE shootings in Minneapolis. The first incident on January 24 involved 37‑year‑old nurse Alex Pretti, who was shot at the entrance to a nursing home; video evidence showed Pretti had no weapon when officers fired. The second on January 7 saw ICE agent shoot resident Renee Good while she was reportedly trying to run over officers. Trump praised Noem’s handling of the situation and Homan’s visit to Minneapolis, which included discussions with Gov. Tim Walz and mayor Jacob Frey and later a draw‑down of federal agents in the city. The incidents have sparked investigations by DHS and the FBI and fueled national debate over immigration enforcement practices.
