00:00U.S. Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino is said to be leaving the city of Minneapolis.
00:05over the recent killings of two U.S. citizens by federal agents.
00:10Trump signals a strategy shift in his deportation drive.
00:13Joining us now from Washington is.
00:15Jonathan Tamari of Bloomberg Government.
00:17Jonathan, pressure was ramping up.
00:19We even had CEO.
00:20Those in Minneapolis writing a letter to Trump saying, you know, de-escalation should be
00:24the.
00:25Priority is that what prompted Trump to finally do this or is it something a little bit more.
00:30Practical like polling numbers.
00:32I mean, it's probably a combination of these things.
00:35I mean, having these two shootings in such close proximity and in this second instance,
00:39having.
00:40Having members of his administration make some claims and statements that were just blatantly
00:44false about.
00:45But I think has turned a lot of public opinion against the president.
00:49I think.
00:50I think even he and some of his advisors think that this is not going the way that they want
00:54it.
00:55Many voters are saying that it's not what they expected, even though they want.
01:00They strongly disagree with the tactics that are playing out here and you're even seeing
01:04some concerns.
01:05So I think all that combination is affecting the.
01:10President and causing him to have to change tack, which is something he almost never does.
01:15Tom Holman borders are, you know, in Minneapolis has been sent there by President Trump.
01:20Obviously, Kristi Noem is, you know, the person that's been in charge of this.
01:25Does she keep her job, Jonathan?
01:27She's obviously going to be testifying in front of many committees.
01:30Over the next several weeks.
01:31But but does Trump keep her?
01:33That is the big question.
01:35Right now, I think that's what's a lot of people in Washington are watching senators.
01:40Certainly starting to zero in on her, calling her to come and testify.
01:45Raising concerns about the way she presented the evidence that turned out to be not true
01:49immediately.
01:50After this second shooting this weekend, so I think we're going to be watching.
01:54She's certainly at a.
01:55Minimum being kind of downplayed and replaced as the face of this operation by.
02:00Tom Holman, whether they go a step further, I think we'll find out in the coming weeks.
