President Donald Trump's administration deployed two highly secretive immigration forces to Minneapolis, according to a new report, and one expert argued that they are the "wrong tool for the job."

Wired reported on Tuesday that the Trump administration has deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement's two Special Response Teams (SRT), the SRT from Customs and Border Patrol, and the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) to Minneapolis as part of its Operation Metro Surge. The administration has also deployed these teams to Southern California and Illinois, where immigration forces have clashed with local protesters.

The forces are effectively special operations units within their respective agencies, which employ many military veterans and operate under a "wartime mindset," according to the report. Unlike police officers, SRT and BORTAC forces wear full riot gear, carry heavy-duty crowd control weapons, and are known to deploy chemical weapons without warning, the report added.

One expert who spoke with Wired said the forces are "absolutely the wrong tool for the job." The report also indicated that it may be difficult to hold these officers accountable for their actions, given that they are rarely named in court documents.

“These teams are our equivalent of special operations command," Gil Kerlikowske, a former CBP commissioner from 2014 through 2017, told Wired.

“BORTAC in particular is used to operating in the desert. They are not trained for urban policing,” Kerlikowske said. "They’re absolutely the wrong tool for the job. It’s like using a chainsaw to mow your lawn.”

Wired also reviewed more than 100 court cases involving the SRT and BORTAC teams and found that they are rarely named or identified in any way, even when accused of violating someone's civil rights.

The report also warned that the "brutal" tactics these teams use appear to have "spread into ICE and CBP as a whole."

President Donald Trump's threat on Tuesday to sue an author who has written four books about him appears to be all hot air.

Trump told reporters on Saturday that he would likely sue author Michael Wolff, who Trump alleged "conspired" with disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein to hurt Trump politically. Wolff has been highly critical of both Trump administrations and has revealed several disturbing facts about Trump's relationship with Epstein. The president doubled down on those threats against Wolff during a bill signing at the White House on Tuesday.

Wolff responded to Trump's threats in a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head," a podcast he co-hosts with Joanna Coles of The Daily Beast.

"He obviously has so much to hide," Wolff said. "But also, he can't sue me. What is he going to do? Is he going to sit for a deposition? Is he going to answer all of the questions that I would have the right to ask him about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?"

Last week, Trump's Department of Justice released more than 3 million new Epstein files, which set off a firestorm of debate about how the convicted sex criminal was able to rub shoulders with the world's wealthiest and most powerful people.

The files also brought to light that some Trump allies, including people in his second administration, have not been honest about their relationships with Epstein either. For instance, it was revealed that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick continued corresponding with Epstein years after he claimed to have cut off contact.

The House GOP's efforts to force former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, a former Secretary of State, to testify about their relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein could backfire on President Donald Trump.

On Monday, the Clintons agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee, which is led by fierce Trump ally Rep. James Comer (R-KY), and includes other MAGA firebrands like Reps. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Nancy Mace (R-SC). The agreement ended a months-long stalemate, during which time the Clintons' lawyer accused Comer of acting in bad faith to secure their testimony.

CNN contributor Kara Swisher revealed on Tuesday on "The Source" with Kaitlan Collins that those efforts could blow up in Trump's face by increasing calls for him and his allies to testify as well.

"I think everybody should [testify]," Swisher said about people mentioned in the latest release of the Epstein files.

"I did a recent interview with [Rep.] Ro Khanna (D-CA) and he said the same thing," she added. "They should testify, and they should testify fully and honestly. And so should President Trump."

Last week, the Department of Justice released more than 3 million new documents from the Epstein files, some of which painted Trump's relationship with the disgraced financier in a negative light.
