  • Good evening and thanks for joining us.

  • A city already on edge,

  • now faced with yet another deadly shooting by federal agents on the streets of Minneapolis.

  • On Saturday morning in Minneapolis,

  • a man named Alex Pretti was wrestled to the ground by federal immigration officials.

  • Pretty was shot just before 9 a.m.

  • after a heated confrontation between agents and protesters who opposed the government's immigration enforcement tactics.

  • In total, 10 shots were fired in five seconds.

  • Then he was fatally shot.

  • The second deadly shooting by immigration agents in less than three weeks.

  • Immediately after the shooting, administration officials blamed Pretty, who had a gun on his body.

  • Deputy Chief of Staff and Trump Advisor Stephen Miller called Pretty a domestic terrorist.

  • Here's the Secretary of Homeland Security, Christine Ohm.

  • I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.

  • This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons and are using them to assault law enforcement officers.

  • But videos of the shooting contradict the administration's account.

  • Footage reviewed by the Wall Street Journal showed a federal officer pulling the handgun away from Pretty.

  • Less than a second later, an agent fired several rounds.

  • The killing, the second by immigration authorities this month, sparked more protests in Minneapolis,

  • which has been the site of an unprecedented immigration crackdown called Operation Metro Surge.
