Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

US President Trump has appointed Tom Homan, the current head of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to oversee ICE operations in Minnesota. This move comes after a second fatal shooting of a US citizen by immigration enforcement officers in the state.

According to reports, Alex Pretti was shot and killed by ICE agents on February 24th. The incident has sparked controversy and raised concerns about the safety of immigrant communities.

President Trump announced Homan’s appointment in a statement, saying that he would be leading ICE operations in Minnesota as part of an ongoing effort to enforce immigration laws.

Homan will be responsible for overseeing ICE operations in the state, including enforcement activities and community outreach programs. The appointment has been met with mixed reactions from lawmakers and advocacy groups, who have expressed concerns about the impact on immigrant communities.

The incident involving Alex Pretti is currently under investigation by local authorities. The FBI has also launched an inquiry into the shooting.

In a separate development, President Trump has announced that he will be sending additional resources to Minnesota to support ICE operations in the state.

These developments come as part of an ongoing effort by the Trump administration to enforce immigration laws and crack down on what it describes as “illegals” entering the country.
