US EditionWhite House Wobbles: Distancing Trump From Initial Response to Minnesota Killing
President Trump blames Democrat-run sanctuary policies for violence after federal agents killed a protester; videos dispute self-defense claims, fueling political tensions.
- On Saturday, a Border Patrol agent shot and killed Alex Pretti, 37, in Minneapolis, and President Donald Trump blamed Democrats for escalating violence.
- The Department of Homeland Security said Pretti `approached` federal officers with a handgun and `violently resisted` attempts to restrain him, while the Trump Administration framed the shooting as self-defense.
- News outlets analyzed videos that contradicted the Administration's account and showed Pretti holding a phone before the fatal confrontation.
- Other high-profile Democrats responded that Former President Barack Obama called Pretti's killing a `heartbreaking tragedy` and Former President Bill Clinton deemed the events `unacceptable` on Sunday.
- Trump urged the GOP-led Congress to immediately end sanctuary policies and asked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to hand over unauthorized immigrants for deportation.
