Congressional leaders are pushing back against the Trump administration's account of the killing of Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old U.S. citizen shot dead by federal officers during an immigration enforcement protest in Minneapolis Saturday. Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn., accused the administration of a "cover-up" Sunday and said the federal government is ignoring a court order that allows state investigators to access evidence in Pretti's killing.

A complex network of far-left protest groups have been accused of pushing ICU nurse Alex Pretti to confront immigration officers in Minnesota before capitalizing on his death to bolster their anti-ICE message. A sophisticated database of 'ICE trackers' and demonstration organizers, uncovered in a report from Fox News, were allegedly ready to deploy agitators to the scene just moments after Pretti was shot dead by border patrol agents on Saturday. According to the report, Pretti and other protesters were in the area because they received advanced warning that immigration officers were there to detain an illegal migrant.

It's time to de-escalate in Minneapolis, Mr. President. Not because you're wrong to enforce immigration law, nor to go after fraudsters who've stolen billions in federal funds — but because these enforcement tactics won't turn the tide, and instead are backfiring. Swing voters — Hispanics and independents who turned to you at the last election — see US citizens dying at federal agents' hands, and recoil in horror.

Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, at about 9 a.m. Central time on Saturday morning. A video shared with The New York Times by a witness and her lawyer, as well as other video footage posted on social media, documents the violent scene, where agents appear to fire at least 10 shots in a span of five seconds. The footage seems to contradict the Department of Homeland Security's account of the encounter, which the agency said began after an individual armed with a handgun approached the federal agents with the intent to "massacre" them.
