The president decided to send the so-called border czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis, announcing that he will report directly to the head of state and will be in charge of the migration operation there, and will also be a "mediator" with the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, and the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey. The second victim of the federal forces, like Renee Good, was a white citizen without a criminal record, who peacefully opposed the violent operations of ICE. Indivisible and some of the organizers of No a Reyes held a national virtual course, whose objective was to offer updated information on ICE operations and other agencies, as well as to document those operations and other rights defense actions.

Nurse Pretti's last action was to defend a woman who was assaulted by an ICE agent, and his final words were "Are you okay?"
