On January 28, 2026, President Trump signaled interest in de-escalating tensions in Minneapolis following a second fatal shooting by federal agents. Despite this signal, the situation on the ground in Minneapolis remained largely unchanged. Federal agents were active in Blaine, Minnesota, and a memorial was erected for Alex Pretti, a Veterans Affairs nurse shot by federal agents. The Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis was also pictured. Federal Bureau of Prisons officers threatened an AP video journalist with arrest, and chemical irritants were used by federal officers, requiring medical attention for at least one person.
