"Gov. Gavin Newsom and other prominent California Democrats called for an end to the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal agents in U.S. cities after an immigration officer fatally shot a man Saturday morning in Minneapolis. The elected officials also condemned the Trump administration for enforcement actions they say have escalated tensions in Minneapolis, where federal law enforcement and protesters have clashed for more than two weeks following the deadly shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer."
"The Minneapolis man killed Saturday was Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37, a U.S. citizen with no criminal record, The New York Times reported. He worked as an intensive-care nurse. Pretti's shooting comes amid national and local furor about federal immigration enforcement actions by ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents. Sacramento City Council members are considering whether to ban immigration enforcement on city-owned properties. ICE watchdog groups are advising California residents about steps they can take should they see questionable behavior by federal agents."
