Morning editorial priorities focused on the tactical de-escalation in Minneapolis, as Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino was sidelined and 'Border Czar' Tom Homan arrived to manage the fallout of the Alex Pretti killing. National outlets highlighted the White House’s attempts to distance President Trump from previous 'terrorist' labels, while legal scrutiny intensified with a federal judge ordering the acting ICE director to appear in court under threat of contempt.
By early afternoon, the narrative shifted toward the internal administration crisis. Editors reported on a tense, two-hour meeting between Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who faced mounting calls for resignation from both parties and a potential impeachment threat from House Democrats.

Late-night headlines were dominated by a physical assault on Representative Ilhan Omar at a Minneapolis town hall, signaling the volatile local climate following the federal operations.
