US EditionTrump says will de-escalate in Minnesota after fatal shootings
President Trump plans partial de-escalation in Minneapolis after two fatal shootings by immigration agents sparked nationwide outrage and political criticism, sending top border official Tom Homan for talks.
- On Jan 27, US President Donald Trump said he would de-escalate a little bit in Minneapolis after fatal shootings of two civilians fuelled criticism.
- Months of escalating enforcement preceded Jan 7 when protester Renee Good, a mother of three, was shot at point blank range and nurse Alex Pretti was killed by ICE and Border Patrol agents.
- Dispatching Homan, the administration signalled personnel adjustments as Tom Homan met Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Jan 27 and Gregory Bovino is expected to leave.
- Political figures responded with calls for investigations as Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said the city `will not enforce federal immigration laws` and Senator John Fetterman urged firing Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem.
- Political pressure in Washington could escalate into legislative consequences as Democrats threaten to block routine spending votes later this week and agency heads will testify before Congress next month, Republican Senator Rand Paul said.
