Warning to US 'agitators'

PRESIDENT Donald Trump's border tsar Tom Homan has said the number of immigration enforcement officers in Minnesota will be reduced only after cooperation from state officials.

He also warned he has “zero tolerance” for protesters who assault his officers or impede their work.

Mr Homan addressed reporters for the first time since the President sent him to Minneapolis after a federal immigration officer shot dead a protester on Saturday.

He doubled down on the need for local jails to alert Immigration and Customs Enforcement to people in their custody whom Ice can remove from the country, and that transferring immigrants to Ice while they are still in jail is safer for the officers and means they are not out on the streets.
