"President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renée Good by Department of Homeland Security officers in Minneapolis "should have not happened," offering his most direct acknowledgment yet that two of the most consequential deaths of his second term were unjustified, even as he continued to defend the broader aims of his immigration crackdown."
"Both Pretti and Good were U.S. citizens, killed weeks apart during Minnesota DHS operations led by Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino that turned Minneapolis into a national flashpoint. Their deaths sparked protests, drew condemnation from civil rights groups, and prompted renewed scrutiny of what critics describe as the creeping militarization of immigration enforcement inside American cities. Last week, Trump removed Bovino from the operation and appointed White House border czar Tom Homan to lead the response."
