Following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis, pressure is mounting on the Trump administration for a full investigation. The incident occurred on Saturday and involved ICE officers. Video evidence suggests officers removed Pretti's permitted handgun before shooting him, contradicting initial administration claims that he brandished the weapon. Politicians from both Republican and Democratic parties, including Senator Bill Cassidy and Senator Amy Klobuchar, have called for transparency and a joint federal-state investigation. Some Democratic lawmakers are urging for the defunding of the Department of Homeland Security and the removal of federal immigration authorities from Minnesota. Pretti's parents have also demanded the truth about their son's death, denouncing the administration's statements.
