[After Alex Pretti's death in Minneapolis] Donald Trump: 'We will de-escalate a bit'
President Donald Trump stated that his administration will "de-escalate a bit" the situation in Minnesota, following the second deadly shooting involving federal immigration agents in the state. "In the end, it was terrible. Both were terrible," he said during an interview on Fox News on Tuesday.
Earlier this month, Renee Good was fatally shot by an immigration agent, followed by Alex Pretti, who was killed on Saturday after being intercepted by border agents. Pretti's death has reignited local protests and public outrage across the country, drawing criticism from lawmakers in both parties. Trump's remarks are the latest indication that his administration is retreating from its operations in Minnesota.
