Trump faces Second Amendment backlash over ICE shooting of Alex Pretti

The Trump administration faced backlash from Republicans and gun rights advocates after characterizing Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis, as responsible for his death due to possessing a weapon. This prompted the White House to reaffirm President Trump's support for the Second Amendment. Critics called for a thorough investigation of the shooting, highlighting inconsistencies in some Republicans' stances on gun rights. The incident occurred in January and raised concerns about the administration's immigration approach as Trump heads into a midterm election year. In response, Trump dispatched Tom Homan to Minnesota, seemingly elevating him over other Homeland Security officials.
