Trump says his administration is reviewing fatal shooting as Republicans and Democrats criticize ICE surge
Donald Trump’s efforts to deploy militarized immigration agents in US cities may finally be reaching a reckoning as he faces widespread opposition across the US, dissenting lawmakers in his own party, and impending court rulings after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal officers in Minneapolis.
While there is no sign the aggressive tactics used by immigration enforcement are coming to an end, the mayor of Minneapolis said the administration will begin to scale back the number of federal agents in Minneapolis starting on Tuesday, as the president and his team soften their harsh rhetoric about the incident.
Trump and Minnesota governor Tim Walz – an otherwise regular target of the president’s ire and ridicule – said they had a call to discuss the federal immigration surge on Monday morning, which the president described in positive terms.
Maybe that means something different to you than it does to them but that is definitely not true from their perspective or mine. I hear Democrats talk about gun control in various forms on a regular basis.
I’m not a Democrat at all, support gun rights, own two myself, and also support gun control. (:
Same here but we both know we’re in the minority of gun owners, at least as far as public discourse is concerned.
