"We're looking at everything that would shed light on what happened that day and in the days and weeks leading up to what happened," Blanche said during a news conference.

A week before Alex was gunned down in the street - despite posing no threat to anyone - he was violently assaulted by a group of (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents," Schleicher said in a written statement. "Nothing that happened a full week before could possibly have justified Alex's killing at the hands of ICE on Jan 24.

We all agree that we need to support our law enforcement officers and get criminals off the streets. While we don't agree on everything, these meetings were a productive starting point and I look forward to more conversations with key stakeholders in the days ahead, Homan said in a post on X. Today I met with Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and top law enforcement officials to discuss the issues on the ground in Minnesota.

Protests erupted immediately, and Trump officials rushed to make outlandish claims about Pretti, the man who was shot even falsely labeling him an assassin. But multiple videos of the shooting refuted those claims. Trump's initial reaction was to lash out and blame Pretti and Democratic leaders in a lengthy social media rant. But as the outrage grew, the president pumped the brakes a little, and by Monday, was striking a conciliatory tone with Democrats in Minnesota.

This family could use the $10,000 you donated to Renee Good's killer," Watts wrote on X. "Please donate.

Apple CEO Tim Cook is being excoriated online for showing up at the White House Saturday night hours after Border Patrol agents killed a Veterans Affair nurse in Minneapolis to party with Donald and Melania Trump at an intimate, black-tie screening of Melania Trump's controversial documentary. Calls to boycott Apple products also began circulating online as Cook was revealed to be among a group

Amid rising tensions in Minnesota over federal agents shooting and killing protesters, US President Donald Trump said senior White House official Tom Homan will visit the northeastern state. "I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there. Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me," the president wrote in an online post.

Among the lies that Melugin disseminated after the murder were that: The person CBP was snatching was "an illegal alien wanted for violent assault" That Pretti "approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun" "[T]he armed suspect violently resisted" "Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject" "[T]his looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement" "200 rioters arrived at the scene"

An exodus of prosecutors who didn't care for his staff screaming sessions and boorish press conferences. A felony conviction against a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy for excessive force that he reduced to a misdemeanor and then unsuccessfully tried to have dismissed. Seeking charges against people who dared protest Trump's deportation deluge that his office eventually reduced, dropped or lost in court due to lack of evidence despite Essayli publicly boasting they were slam-dunk cases.

I thought it was just a dream, but I'm here now. It feels real. It really happened. You know, in a movie, when you shoot people, I know it's fake. I never knew it (could be) real.

As the videos begin, Pretti can be seen filming as a federal agent pushes away one woman and shoves another woman to the ground. Pretti moves between the agent and the women, then raises his left arm to shield himself as the agent pepper sprays him. Several agents then take hold of Pretti - who struggles with them - and force him onto his hands and knees.

We are heartbroken but also very angry, the statement began. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

On the one hand, she said she wished Trump would leave Minneapolis to its own devices and let it be overwhelmed by illegals and fraudsters. That would fit the demands of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), after Frey urged the Trump administration to withdraw federal immigration agents from his city right after the shooting on Saturday.

Here is what Barkley said on Saturday evening: Going back to, I think her name was Renee Good, and today it's just sad, man. It's scary, it's sad, and it's going to end bad. It's already ended badly twice. And somebody's got to step up and be adults, because, man, two people have died for no reason. And it's just sad.

Immediately, three men in plain clothes with camouflage tactical vests emerge and rush toward a man, out of view of the camera, shouting as they encounter him. "Sorry, we thought you were someone else," one of the men in camo says, as the resident screams at them for ambushing him with guns drawn. Seconds later, the three men run back to the unmarked SUV and drive away.

Federal prosecutors on Thursday moved to drop criminal charges against Marimar Martinez, a woman who was shot multiple times by a US Border Patrol agent last month in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood. As reported by local news station WTTW, prosecutors filed a one-page motion asking the court to dismiss the indictment against both Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, who had been accused of assaulting a federal immigration officer by intentionally ramming their vehicle into the officer's car.
