Trump announces de-escalation of immigration crackdown in Minnesota

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that his administration will scale back its immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota following public and political backlash over the fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Alex Pretti by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. Speaking in an interview, Trump said the administration would “de-escalate a little bit” after the incident triggered protests and renewed scrutiny of federal immigration tactics in the state. Former President Joe Biden strongly condemned the shooting, criticizing what he described as violent actions by federal agents and warning against violations of constitutional rights. The case has intensified calls for accountability and raised broader questions about the conduct of immigration enforcement operations in the United States.
