US Edition'It's Time to Pull Out': ICE Agents Admit 'Battle Is Lost' In Leaked Private Messages as Minneapolis Chaos Continues After Two Deadly Shootings
Minnesota state prosecutors consider murder charges against ICE agents for two recent fatal shootings amid federal immunity claims and public protests, with 61% of Americans viewing ICE enforcement as too harsh.
- This month, Minnesota state prosecutors are pursuing potential criminal charges against Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection agents after two fatal Minneapolis, Minnesota shootings, raising jurisdictional questions over state and federal courts.
- An ICE agent killed Renée Nicole Good, 37-year-old poet, in early January during a DHS-described self-defense encounter, and weeks later, federal agents fatally shot Alex Pretti, 37-year-old Veterans Affairs ICU nurse, on a Saturday while he protested.
- Witnesses and video footage and bystanders show multiple-angle videos contradict DHS narratives, with Good shot near her SUV's passenger side and Pretti kneeling unarmed while 10 gunshots fired in five seconds.

- The killings have sparked nationwide protests and local calls for ICE and CBP to leave cities, while the White House inserted Tom Homan, border czar, into Minneapolis operations amid GOP unease.
