"President Donald Trump declined to answer two times when a Wall Street Journal reporter asked him if the Border Patrol agent who shot and killed Alex Pretti did the right thing during a brief phone interview on Sunday. The president said his administration was looking into the shooting before commenting further. We're looking, we're reviewing everything and will come out with a determination, Trump told The Journal."
"The report came out soon after President Trump called on Democratic leaders like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to work with federal immigration agents on the rapid removal of all Criminal Illegal Aliens in our Country. Trump shared a four-point plan for Dem leaders to follow, saying it was critical they work with ICE and Border Patrol and not encourage Leftwing Agitators to unlawfully obstruct immigration raids."
"Earlier on Sunday, Walz urged the Trump administration to withdraw immigration agents from his state. He also compared Trump's immigration raids to Anne Frank being captured by Nazi stormtroopers. Allow our children to go back to school. We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside, Walz said. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody's going to write that children's story about Minnesota."
President Trump twice declined to say whether the Border Patrol agent who shot and killed Alex Pretti acted rightly, saying the administration is reviewing the shooting. Trump urged Democratic leaders to cooperate with ICE and Border Patrol and proposed a four-point plan urging rapid removal of what he called "Criminal Illegal Aliens" while warning against encouraging leftwing agitators to obstruct raids. Trump linked recent deaths of Pretti and Renee Good to Democrat-backed chaos. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called for withdrawal of immigration agents and likened raids to Anne Frank's capture. Border Patrol and DHS officials said agents feared for their lives; critics disputed official accounts.
