With border czar Tom Homan headed to take charge of Homeland Security efforts in Minneapolis and President Trump finding some common ground with Gov. Tim Walz, a rapid reduction in tensions is thankfully well under way.
Alex Pretti’s death plainly prompted a sobering all around, as it should have.
We’re glad to see Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem elbowed aside. Her performance in recent weeks as the situation in Minnesota escalated out of control did not serve the president or the country well.

That’s in everyone’s interest. Walz acknowledged as much by finally calling in the National Guard on Saturday to separate the two sides. Then Trump declared “we’re reviewing everything” in his Sunday night Wall Street Journal interview.
Their call Monday, by all accounts, continued the de-escalation.
