"I don't think it's a pullback. It's a little bit of a change, President Trump told Fox News on Tuesday. list of 4 itemsend of list We're going to de-escalate a little bit, Trump said, referring to a sweeping federal immigration crackdown in Minneapolis that has led to weeks of protests, the killing of Pretti and Renee Good, and a standoff between state and federal officials."
"Noem, who oversees both Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), responded to the killing by accusing Pretti of engaging in domestic terrorism and suggested the ICU nurse had brandished his weapon at Border Patrol agents during an altercation. Noem's remarks preceded any investigation findings and broke with the longstanding protocols of how US officials discuss a civilian shooting by law enforcement."
"He was also a licensed gun owner with a permit to carry a weapon in public, which he was wearing at the time of the shooting and which appears to have been confiscated by officers before he was killed. Her characterisation of events also conflicted with preliminary video evidence showing that Pretti did not take out his weapon at any time while he was tackled and later shot and killed."
President Donald Trump said his administration intends to de-escalate a federal immigration operation in Minneapolis after the killing of two U.S. citizens, including intensive care nurse Alex Pretti. The operation sparked weeks of protests and a standoff between state and federal officials. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who oversees ICE and CBP, accused Pretti of domestic terrorism and alleged he brandished a weapon during an altercation. Noem made those statements before investigative findings and broke longstanding protocols for commenting on civilian shootings. Preliminary video evidence appears to show Pretti did not remove his weapon, which seems to have been confiscated before he was shot.
