"For a man at the center of history, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has remarkably little information. Walz still doesn't know the name of the two officers who shot Alex Pretti. He doesn't have any proof that the officers actually have been placed on administrative leave, as the Department of Homeland Security claimed yesterday. And he has no guarantees, yet, that immigration agents will leave the state. "I don't trust 'em," he said on Wednesday in an interview with The Atlantic."
"It's true that President Donald Trump finally did call Walz this week for the first time since tragedy began to unfold in Minneapolis. Trump's tone in the phone call was conciliatory, Walz said. But the president didn't make too many concrete concessions. Walz told Trump he needed to "immediately" drop the investigation into the widow of Renee Good, the first U.S. citizen fatally shot by federal agents deployed to the city. Trump said he would check with FBI Director Kash Patel."
Tim Walz lacks the names of the two officers who shot Alex Pretti and lacks proof that the officers were placed on administrative leave as claimed by the Department of Homeland Security. There are no guarantees that immigration agents will leave Minnesota, and Walz has expressed distrust of federal assurances. President Donald Trump spoke with Walz, adopting a conciliatory tone but offering few concrete concessions. Walz requested that the investigation into the widow of Renee Good be dropped immediately; Trump indicated he would consult FBI Director Kash Patel. The situation has generated political pressure and uncertainty over federal-state coordination.
