US EditionMinnesota National Guard will assist local police amid growing protest to 2nd fatal shooting of a protester
Governor Walz activated the Minnesota National Guard and ordered a state-led probe after federal agents shot Alex Pretti, amid accusations of federal non-cooperation and heightened tensions.
- On Saturday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz activated the Minnesota National Guard and said the state will conduct its own investigation after federal immigration agents shot a man in Minneapolis.
- After seeking a judicial warrant, state investigators claim Department of Homeland Security agents blocked their access to the scene and evidence, repeating earlier obstruction patterns.
- Unverified video circulating online appears to show Alex Pretti, 37-year-old ICU nurse and Minneapolis resident, being sprayed with chemical agents and wrestled to the ground before shots rang out, without showing him reaching for a firearm.
- Walz publicly demanded President Donald Trump remove thousands of federal immigration officers, saying `Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this,` while Keith Ellison said his office will challenge the operation in court on Monday.
- The death marks the second killing by DHS agents this month since the surge of federal immigration personnel, and the Justice Department said DHS will lead the investigation as more troops remain prepared to respond.
