Trump’s about-face in Minnesota after Pretti’s death is latest in pattern of sudden shifts
AI Summary
Following the death of Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by a U.S. Border Patrol officer, the Trump administration has shifted its stance, a pattern noted in the article's title. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated the killing resulted from "deliberate and hostile resistance by Democrat leaders" and distanced Trump from labeling Pretti an "assassin." Despite expressing confidence in DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, the White House is sending border czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis as the main point of contact for ongoing federal immigration operations as of January 26, 2026. The events are unfolding in Minneapolis and Washington, D.C. The reason for the shift is not explicitly stated, but the article suggests it is part of a recurring pattern of sudden changes in the administration's approach.
