Minneapolis live updates: ICE arrest powers expanded, memo says

In an interview with MSNOW on Wednesday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was asked about the shakeup of the Trump administration's presence in Minnesota after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti involving federal agents.

President Donald Trump on Monday announced he is dispatching his border czar, Tom Homan, to Minnesota -- bypassing the normal chain of command -- where DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino have been overseeing ICE operations.

"Tom Homan is more of a professional," Walz told the outlet. "Tom Homan called me, not something Bovino or Noem would ever do."

The governor, however, expressed reservations about Homan leading federal operations.

"But the fear I have with that is that we're going to get more of the same, but more efficient at this oppression?"

Walz claimed that, from his understanding, the White House wants "these scenes on the streets to stop because it's tanking their approval ratings."

"And according to the president, it looks bad if Tom Homan does anything here that makes that continue on, the president's going to be on him," Walz said.

A newly emerged video appears to show Alex Pretti in a confrontation with federal agents 11 days before he was shot and killed in Minneapolis.

In the video, a man who appears to be Pretti and others on the scene are seen shouting at agents blocking an intersection in Minneapolis on Jan. 13. A man who looks like Pretti is then seen kicking a federal vehicle before agents get out, push him and tackle him to the ground. Agents then fire gas into the crowd.

The agents get up and the man appearing to be Pretti walks away, a gun visible on his waistband.

ABC News does not know what happened before this altercation.

The Department of Homeland Security told ABC News on Wednesday that Homeland Security Investigations is reviewing the video.

Trump administration border czar Tom Homan is set to hold a press conference in Minneapolis on Thursday at 8 a.m. ET, the White House said in an advisory.

No further details were released.

President Donald Trump dispatched Homan to Minnesota this week as part of a leadership shuffle, with Homan meeting with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Tuesday.

A federal judge is temporarily barring the Trump administration from arresting any refugee in Minnesota who has not received a green card and has not been charged with any offense that warrants removal under immigration laws.

The judge is also ordering the administration to release refugees who fit this description.

The order stems from a lawsuit in which the plaintiffs are refugees who believe they've been targeted for arrests under the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' "Operation PARRIS."

USCIS launched the operation in Minnesota and called it a "sweeping initiative reexamining thousands of refugee cases through new background checks and intensive verification of refugee claims," according to a press release from earlier this month.
