Trump Says Good, Pretti Were ‘Not Angels’ but Their Actions Didn’t Justify Fatal Shootings
President Trump said the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal agents crossed a line, prompting protests and a partial withdrawal of 700 officers from Minneapolis.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump said the Minneapolis shootings `should have not happened`, calling them unjustified and said the White House is `reviewing everything`.
- In separate January incidents, Renee Good was shot and killed on Jan. 7 and Alex Pretti on Jan. 24 during DHS operations in Minneapolis led by Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino.
- Bystander videos show Pretti never holding a gun, contradicting Department of Homeland Security officials who said he `approached` officers with a handgun and `violently resisted`; closer footage also disproved claims that an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent was run over last month.
- The Justice Department civil‑rights division is investigating the Pretti killing, prompting federal scrutiny as Trump removed Bovino and pulled back over 100 officers amid mounting political pressure.
- Experts said the administration's rapid statements were political and showed little regard for facts, and Barbara Perry noted federal agents acted as instruments of the presidency and policy choices.
