Bill Clinton criticized federal immigration agents for aggressive tactics and obstructing investigations after the deaths of two Minneapolis protesters, highlighting concerns over official misinformation.
- On January 25, 2026, Former US President Bill Clinton accused officials of misleading the public and blocking investigations into the Minneapolis shooting, warning the country faces a turning point.

- The White House has offered a muted public response while the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security field most responses, and Former President Barack Obama called the footage deeply troubling and urged full transparency.
