Federal and state officials both claim moral high ground in immigration crackdown after shooting01/26/2026MINNEAPOLIS (AP/WBCL) — In dueling news conferences, federal and state officials offered starkly different messages about the immigration crackdown that has swept across Minneapolis and surrounding cities. Both sides claimed the moral high ground Sunday in the wake of another shooting death by federal agents. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz asked the public whether they wanted to support an all-powerful federal government that could menace, kill and kidnap citizens. At the same time, Border Patrol senior official Gregory Bovino turned blame for the shooting to Alex Pretti, the nurse who was killed, saying he chose to interfere with law enforcement officers. Meanwhile, President Trump said his administration is reviewing everything about the incident, indicating that ICE agents would eventually be withdrawn.
