Live updates: Trump administration news, Munich conference, DHS shutdown

Tom Homan said he increased the presence of internal affairs officers in Minnesota since arriving in the Twin Cities to address misconduct allegations among immigration enforcement officers, noting the claims are under investigation as the surge of immigration officers winds down.

“In any instance where there have been allegations of misconduct or working outside the policy, it has been referred to internal affairs,” Homan told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

“My first press conference in Minnesota, I said I was bringing in more internal affairs officers to review the allegations, and those allegations are now being investigated,” Homan said.

Asked whether there are officials within the administration who may undermine the credibility of the Department of Homeland Security amid increased scrutiny, Homan pointed to the ongoing internal investigations but dismissed division.

“Allegations are made that need to be investigated. And again, I don’t want to discuss the investigations,” Homan said. “We’ll let the Internal Affairs and the bureau investigate these allegations, and that’s the right thing to do.”

Homan said he doesn’t agree with DHS Secretary Noem “on everything,” but added that the pair regularly have discussions, and he described the administration’s efforts as “one team one fight.”

“We have discussions and different opinions. That’s what makes it a strong team. We bring different ideas to the table and then agree on a mission,” Homan said.

“I’m not going to divide this administration…. I’m going to just keep doing what the president wants me to do as the Border Czar,” Homan added.
