White House border czar Tom Homan acknowledged that "things weren't perfect" during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, but emphasized that the Trump administration remains committed to its mass deportation efforts.

In an exclusive interview with CBS News immigration correspondent Camilo Montoya-Galvez on Tuesday, Homan defended the administration's deportation policies while conceding there were issues with the Minneapolis operation. "Things weren't perfect. We addressed it. We fixed it," Homan said.

The Minneapolis operation came after President Trump sent Homan to the city following the deadly shooting of Alex Pretti. The incident prompted scrutiny of Immigration and Customs Enforcement tactics in the area.

Homan indicated that ICE has implemented changes to adopt what he described as "smarter" deportation tactics following the Minneapolis events. However, he stressed that the administration is not retreating from its broader immigration enforcement goals.

The border czar's comments come as the Trump administration continues its campaign promise of conducting large-scale deportation operations across the country. Homan has been tasked with overseeing these efforts as part of his role in the administration's immigration policy.
