"During a Saturday evening press conference, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem described the incident like this: The officers attempted to disarm this individual but the armed suspect reacted violently. Fearing for his life and for the lives of his fellow officers around him, an agent fired defensive shots. It looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and kill law enforcement, she added."
"The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake. There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth. The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake.

A 37-year-old man, Alex Pretti, was shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis and died. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said officers attempted to disarm Pretti, that he reacted violently, and that an agent fired defensive shots to protect lives, suggesting an intent to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement. Video footage of the incident has prompted scrutiny and claims that the footage contradicts Noem’s account. Republican lawmakers including Senator Bill Cassidy called for a full joint federal and state investigation. House Security Committee Chairman Andrew Garbarino requested testimony from senior ICE, CBP, and USCIS officials.
