In January, the Trump administration deployed federal immigration agents to Minneapolis. On January 24th, agents fatally shot Alex Pretti, a Department of Veterans Affairs nurse, marking the third shooting by federal agents in the area that month. The Department of Homeland Security initially claimed Pretti approached officers with a weapon, but video evidence seemingly contradicts this. Two officers involved were subsequently placed on leave. Border czar Tom Homan stated the administration aims to improve the operation's safety and efficiency, focusing on targeted enforcement and public safety threats. Photojournalists documented the events surrounding Pretti's death, capturing scenes of heavily armed federal units in neighborhoods and confrontations between residents and agents.
