US EditionSome Republicans express concern over the tactics used in Minnesota and urge shooting investigation
Republicans urge a thorough investigation into federal immigration enforcement after a Border Patrol agent fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, raising concerns over tactics and accountability.
- On Saturday, a U.S. Border Patrol agent fatally shot Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse and U.S. citizen, during a street confrontation in Minneapolis.
- House Homeland Security Committee chairman sought testimony from ICE, CBP and USCIS as GOP lawmakers, including Sen. Thom Tillis, urged closer scrutiny after state and county officials sued to preserve evidence, with a federal judge ordering no destruction of materials.
- DHS said agents fired `defensive shots` after Pretti approached and resisted, while video shows him stepping in after an officer shoved a woman and does not clearly show a weapon.
- Some Republicans urged a full joint federal‑state probe of the shooting, Rep. Andrew Garbarino demanded DHS leaders’ testimony, and a federal court hearing is set for Monday as the Minnesota National Guard aids police.
- The shooting heightens political risk for the GOP ahead of a challenging midterm year as Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer warned Democrats would not back DHS funding, raising a January 30 shutdown risk.
