How #Trump camp has been put on defensive over execution of #AlexPretti
Trumpists trying to get some breathing space w withdrawal of Border Patrol head Bovino from #Minnesota, and w #Trump calls w #Walz and #Frey
But authoritarian regime unlikely to back away from its assault
Gov. Tim Walz says he had a “very good” call with Pres. Trump after weeks of tension in Minnesota.
Walz asked to reduce federal agents + include state investigators in the deaths of Alex Pretti & Renee Good. Trump said he’d consider it and will send Tom Homan to coordinate.
Major tone shift after backlash over the shootings and federal response.

While there is no sign the aggressive tactics used by immigration enforcement are coming to an end,
#Jacob #Frey, the mayor of Minneapolis said the administration will begin to ✅ scale back the number of federal agents in Minneapolis starting on Tuesday,
as Trump and his team soften their harsh rhetoric about the incident.
Trump said earlier on Monday that his administration was reviewing the shooting of #Alex #Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse,
and that he would send “border czar” #Tom #Homan to Minnesota.
Frey said he planned to meet with Homan on Tuesday to “further discuss next steps”.
That marks a departure in the White House’s vehement claims about protesters in Minnesota,
including #Renee #Good, who was killed by an ICE agent earlier this month as she attempted to drive away from federal officers.
🙏🏻A federal judge also heard arguments on Monday about whether to end the federal officer surge in Minneapolis, but a ruling was not expected imminently.
Trump’s ICE crackdown faces reckoning in wake of Alex Pretti shooting
The Trump administration is facing criticism from all sides over the shootings and upscaled enforcement.
The #NRA attacked the suggestion by a Trump-appointed federal prosecutor that armed protest creates “a high likelihood” that federal agents “will be legally justified” to shoot protesters.
Minnesota's governor #Tim #Walz described comments from the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem,
the senior border patrol official Greg Bovino
and other officials about the shooting as “lies”.
