Trump Sends Tom Homan to MN; Winter Storm Snarls US Travel, Death Toll Rises

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he is sending border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota in the wake of the shooting of an anti-immigration enforcement protester by a federal agent. The president said in a morning Truth Social post that Homan would be going to Minnesota on Monday evening, noting that though Homan hasn’t been involved in operations there, he knows many officials in the state. “Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me,” Trump wrote.A powerful winter storm sweeping across much of the United States forced airlines to cancel thousands of flights and delay hundreds on Monday, as freezing rain and heavy snowfall disrupted travel and snarled transportation networks. About 3,800 flights were canceled and over 1,000 were delayed as of early Monday, according to flight-tracking website FlightAware, following more than 11,000 cancellations reported on Sunday. The weather has been blamed for the deaths of at least 13 people.
