Homeland Security Department in Turmoil After Minneapolis Shooting
WASHINGTON - The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is facing internal turmoil following a deadly shooting in Minneapolis involving border authorities, according to current and former officials. The January 2026 incident, in which federal agents fatally shot a Veterans Affairs nurse, has triggered a blame game and exposed power struggles within the department over the Trump administration's immigration policies, according to the New York Times.
The shooting has led to increased scrutiny of immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota. Tom Homan, the Trump administration's "border czar," addressed the situation during a news conference on January 29, 2026, indicating a shift in enforcement operations while also doubling down on efforts to crack down on undocumented migrants, despite mounting protests, Al Jazeera reported. Homan stated he would seek to cooperate with local officials.
The New York Times reported that the incident has created a "severe crisis" within the DHS, highlighting the challenges of implementing President Trump's expansive federal immigration crackdown.
