   Border czar Tom Homan said a drawdown in federal agents will happen when   
   more Minnesota counties cooperate and if people stop interfering with   
   federal agents.   
      
   "If you violate the law, you will be federally prosecuted," Homan said   
   during a press conference on Wednesday.   
      
   Homan says in the past month, 158 people have been arrested for impeding   
   or assaulting federal officers, with 85 cases already accepted for   
   prosecution.   
      
   The Department of Homeland Security posted photos of nine people on X,   
   saying, "more agitators arrested in Minneapolis."   
      
   One pictured in the post is Davis Redmond. Court documents say he was   
   "driving aggressively" while following border patrol agents through   
   Minneapolis before he "suddenly (accelerated) his car, colliding with   
   the black GMC" driven by border patrol.   
      
   Redmond's attorney said on Thursday the charges he faces were downgraded   
   from a felony to a misdemeanor.   
      
   "The charges are bogus, and the decision to bring this case is   
   outrageous," the attorney said in an email to WCCO.   
      
   In a separate case, prosecutors claim Brittany Stallings assaulted a   
   federal agent on Jan. 24, the day Alex Pretti was shot and killed. Court   
   documents say Stallings shoved the agent and punched him in the face.   
      
   Timothy Catlett was also featured in the DHS post online. Prosecutors   
   accused Catlett of "giving an officer the middle finger" during an   
   operation in St. Cloud on Jan. 12. Court documents say when the officers   
   tried to leave, Catlett pounded on the hood and kicked the side door of   
   their car. On Thursday, the U.S. Attorney's Office filed to dismiss the   
   case.   
      
   It's unclear if the number cited by Homan includes cases like Matt   
   Allen, better known as Twin Cities rapper Nur-D. WCCO cameras captured   
   his arrest on Jan. 24.   
      
   "So, I walk calmly, I walk slowly with my hands up," Nur-D said. "I was   
   just being grabbed by somebody and so I began to run, and as I was   
   thrown to the ground, I was told I was under arrest for assaulting a   
   federal officer."   
      
   Nur-D claims he did nothing wrong and said his attorneys plan to pursue   
   legal action against DHS.   
      
   WCCO reached out to attorneys for Catlett and Stallings for comment.
