    Minneapolis shooting during federal immigration raid triggers U.S. nationwide backlash

    The case of the 37-year-old nurse murdered by ICE agents threatens to become a new test for the boundaries between federal authority, state autonomy, and public trust

    Protesters returned to the streets of Minneapolis demanding accountability after Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive-care nurse and U.S. citizen, was shot dead during a federal immigration enforcement operation. Multiple videos of the incident are now central to official reviews, as the episode triggers a fresh political clash between Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and the Trump administration—set against a broader national fight over “sanctuary” policies and how far local authorities should cooperate with federal immigration agencies.
