Earlier Thursday, Homan said Ellison told him that county jails may alert ICE to the release dates of criminal public safety risks.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment on the matter.
Homan was sent to Minnesota on Monday and vowed to remain in the state while leading ICE operations "until the problem is gone," referring to increased unrest in Minneapolis. He made the statement during a news conference Thursday morning, his first since President Donald Trump sent him to the region.

"So now what happens is now we've got to arrest somebody on his turf where he has access to who knows what weapons," Homan explained. "Now we've got to send a whole team out."
He also demanded that the "hostile rhetoric" and threats against ICE officers stop, vowing that agents will remain in the Twin Cities to do their jobs.
"President Trump wants this fixed, and I'm going to fix it with your help," Homan said.

Trump deployed Homan to Minnesota after heated clashes between anti-ICE agitators and federal agents across the Twin Cities. The unrest resulted in the deaths of two U.S. citizens, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, at the hands of law enforcement.
