• The summons follows two fatal shootings by federal officers in Minneapolis: Alex Pretti by Border Patrol and Renee Good by an ICE officer.
• President Trump appointed Tom Homan to oversee Minnesota immigration operations amidst public outrage and protests.
• Schiltz stated that the unusual summons was necessary due to ICE's repeated violations of court orders and the failure of lesser measures.
