NewsdayExpires today 8:00am
President Trump says he is sending his "border tsar", Tom Homan, to Minneapolis, a man seen as more measured than Mr Bovino or the Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. We speak to an emergency management director there. The mayor of Minneapolis says he has asked President Trump to put an end to the current drive against irregular immigrants in his city by federal agents. A Greenland politician tells the BBC they will need time to build trust with the US.
