FBI investigates Signal chats linked to fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens during Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota.

The FBI is looking into claims that federal agents in Minnesota were tracked via Signal chats following two U.S. During Operation Metro Surge, civilians were shot and killed. After being sent to Minneapolis, White House Border Czar Tom Homan pledged to remain until tensions subsided, denounced inflammatory rhetoric, admitted federal failings, and declared that justice would be served in the investigation without providing specifics. Paul Perez, president of the National Border Patrol Council, backed the inquiry and noted that footage of interactions between agents and protesters frequently omits earlier acts of aggression. Minnesota Senator Tina Smith and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemned the federal presence, calling the operation an occupation that fuels fear. Homan announced a shift from broad sweeps to targeted enforcement focused on individuals with criminal records or active charges.
