Following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, the two involved Department of Homeland Security agents have been placed on administrative leave. This action coincides with President Trump's suggestion to "de-escalate" immigration enforcement in Minnesota, though details remain unclear. Despite this, immigration raids have continued, including an incident at the Ecuadorian consulate. The shooting and subsequent response have drawn criticism, including from the NRA, and fueled plans for large-scale protests. The Department of Homeland Security is conducting an investigation into the shooting, while Trump awaits the results.
