US EditionSome Republicans express concern over the tactics used in Minnesota and urge shooting investigation
Republicans urge a thorough probe into federal immigration enforcement after ICU nurse Alex Pretti was fatally shot amid protests, highlighting concerns over tactics in Minnesota.
- Republican lawmakers urged a full joint federal-and-state investigation after a U.S. Border Patrol agent fatally shot Alex Pretti Saturday morning in south Minneapolis during a federal operation on Eat Street.

- With short-term funding deadlines looming, Democratic senators vowed to oppose the Department of Homeland Security funding bill, increasing shutdown risk by Friday, while House Homeland Security Chairman Andrew Garbarino sought testimony from ICE, CBP and USCIS.
- A federal judge will hear arguments Monday on whether to temporarily halt the immigration crackdown that led to two fatal shootings, while attorneys general from 19 states and the District of Columbia support Minnesota in a case that may affect other states.
