GOP Senator Hits Noem’s ‘Premature’ Minneapolis Shooting Response

The Trump administration attributes violent incidents during immigration raids to political opposition while 61% of respondents say ICE tactics have gone too far, according to a recent poll.

  • Federal agents in Minneapolis killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old resident, on Saturday as the Trump administration defended the Department of Homeland Security amid ongoing investigations.
  • Weeks of protests surrounding federal immigration raids set the context for the lethal encounter, as administration officials blamed sanctuary politicians and activists for creating chaos that hindered operations.
  • Verified videos and witness accounts contradict key elements of the official account, showing at least four videos where federal agents wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground before firing at least 10 shots, while footage shows an officer withdrawing a firearm shortly before shots were fired.
  • Federal noncooperation with local authorities has prompted separate local investigations, and the FBI will also lead the Alex Pretti probe alongside Department of Homeland Security, raising Justice Department civil‑rights investigation questions.
  • Senior aides, including the Stephen Miller faction and J.D. Vance, push for tougher enforcement as President Donald Trump sent Tom Homan to Minnesota, shifting tone after outcry.
