The shooting of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old American citizen, during a federal Immigration Services (ICE) operation in the city of Minneapolis sparked widespread protests and political tensions in the United States. The former US president spoke on this matter today Joe Biden, who assessed the actions of ICE and Donald Trump's administration as a “betrayal of our values.”
What did Donald Trump say?
During a meeting with journalists today, President Trump was asked about what he would say to Alex Pretti's family. — I'm watching this whole situation. I love everyone. I love all people. I love his family. This is a very sad situation – he replied.
In other statements, Trump suggested that the administration was reviewing the incident and that the U.S. government could limit the number of federal agents in Minnesota in the future, although he did not specify specific dates for withdrawing them from the state. Axios reports, in turn, that Trump does not actually intend to budge on the issue of ICE operations in Minnesota.
