President Donald Trump held a “late-night crisis” meeting with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Monday as the situation on the ground in Minnesota amid federal immigration operations further devolved into chaos, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

According to insiders who spoke with the Times on the condition of anonymity, the meeting was held at Noem’s request and came amid growing tension between federal immigration officers and Minnesotans in the wake of the killing of Alex Pretti on Saturday, which itself came just weeks after the ICE killing of Minnesota resident Renee Good.

The face of Trump’s mass deportations, Noem’s leadership of DHS has come under scrutiny among experts since Good's killing, with CNN data guru Harry Enten labeling her a “political disaster” as the situation on the ground in Minnesota grows more chaotic. A union that represents some federal immigration officers had gone as far as to call for Noem’s resignation on Monday.

The emergency meeting occurred the same day Trump revealed that he was sending his border czar, Tom Homan, to Minneapolis, which some critics saw as a slight to Noem and her leadership of DHS.
