President Donald Trump described Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two U.S. citizens fatally shot during federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis this winter, as “not angels”, highlighting the complex and tragic nature of the incidents. Trump expressed sorrow over the deaths, emphasizing that they were avoidable, while reaffirming strong support for law enforcement and national security measures. The Minneapolis incidents have sparked widespread public outrage, leading the federal government to scale back its operations in the city. Trump suggested that lessons could be learned, indicating a potential “softer touch” in future immigration enforcement, while critics remain deeply divided on the approach. Local leaders and national figures, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, have called for immediate reforms, arguing that federal actions made residents feel unsafe and demanded accountability.
