Bill Cassidy raises concerns over ICE, DHS credibility after Minneapolis shooting – The Hill

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) on Saturday expressed concern about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) reputation following another fatal shooting in Minnesota.

“The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake. There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth,” Cassidy said Saturday in a post on the social platform X.

A high-ranking Minnesota public safety official said Saturday that his agency was blocked from participating in any federal investigation into the deadly shooting of Alex Pretti, noting that “we’re in uncharted territory.”

Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) Superintendent Drew Evans said that after the FBI left the scene Saturday, BCA agents sought to begin their own investigation but were “unable to hold that scene, and it got run over by protesters, and we were not able to reexamine that scene.”

He added that BCA was denied access to the scene at a later time, and that after they obtained a signed search warrant, state agents were still not permitted to enter the area. 

The Hill has reached out to DHS for comment.

Cassidy’s comments follow weeks of tension in Minnesota over President Trump’s immigration agenda, which escalated in the wake of the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer earlier this month.

Man Killed by Federal Agents in Minneapolis Was Holding a Phone, Not a Gun

Videos analyzed by The New York Times appear to contradict federal accounts of the shooting. The man, an I.C.U. nurse, was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said.

By Ernesto Londoño, Devon Lum, Hamed Aleaziz, and Mitch Smith – Ernesto Londoño reported from the scene in Minneapolis.

Here’s the latest.

Federal officials sought to portray a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident killed by Border Patrol agents on Saturday as a domestic terrorist, saying he wanted to “massacre” law enforcement, even as videos emerged that appeared to directly contradict their account.

The man, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was an intensive-care nurse described by the Minneapolis police chief as a U.S. citizen with no criminal record. Federal officials said he was armed, but there is no sign in videos analyzed by The New York Times that he pulled his weapon, or that agents even knew he had one until he was already pinned on the sidewalk.

An agent had already removed Mr. Pretti’s gun when two other agents opened fire, shooting him in the back and as he lay on the ground. At least 10 shots were fired, killing him. Mr. Pretti had a legal permit to carry a firearm, said the police chief, Brian O’Hara.

The shooting on a frigid morning in Minneapolis’s Whittier neighborhood renewed protests and clashes with law enforcement in a city where tensions have reached a breaking point after weeks of aggressive federal immigration action. Federal agents deployed tear gas and flash bangs to drive demonstrators away from the shooting scene as they demanded that local police officers arrest the agents who killed Mr. Pretti.

Officials said protests in Minneapolis had remained mostly peaceful, with a few exceptions. But as dusk fell, officials deployed the National Guard to ensure that demonstrations did not turn violent. At least 1,000 people turned out for a vigil for Mr. Pretti in Whittier Park on Saturday night, despite subzero temperatures.

A colleague of Mr. Pretti, Dimitri Drekonja, said he had worked as a nurse at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. “He was a really great colleague and a really great friend,” Mr. Drekonja said. “The default look on his face was a smile.”

Here’s what we’re covering:

• Video analysis: Video footage posted to social media and verified by The Times shows Mr. Pretti stepping between a woman and an agent who is pepper spraying her. Other agents then pepper spray Mr. Pretti, who is holding a phone in one hand and nothing in the other. His weapon remains concealed until federal agents find and take it from him. Concealed or open carry is legal for permit holders in Minnesota. Read more ›
• Federal claims: President Trump and administration officials declared without evidence that Mr. Pretti intended to attack federal agents. Gregory Bovino, the official in charge of the president’s Border Patrol operations, said that Mr. Pretti was intent on a “massacre.” Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, said, “This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage.” Their accounts directly contradict video evidence of the encounter. Read more ›
• Investigators blocked: Drew Evans, who heads the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, said federal agents had initially barred state investigators from the scene of Saturday’s shooting. Mr. Evans said his agency took the rare step of obtaining a search warrant for access to a public sidewalk, but were still stymied. Federal officials eventually left the scene after clashing with protesters, but the demonstrations had grown large enough by that point to prevent state agents from investigating.
• Self-investigation: Federal authorities said the Department of Homeland Security, which includes ICE and Border Patrol, would lead the federal shooting investigation, with assistance from the F.B.I. But senior Homeland Security and Justice Department officials said it was already clear that Mr. Pretti and local officials were to blame.
• Minneapolis outrage: Mayor Jacob Frey accused the Trump administration of terrorizing his city. “How many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?” he asked. At least two other people have been shot there by federal agents this month, including Renee Good, 37, who was killed on Jan. 7. Read more ›
• “Force of good”: Accolades poured in for Mr. Pretti from those who knew him. Ruth Anway, another nurse who worked with him, described Mr. Pretti as a passionate colleague and kind friend with a sharp sense of humor. “He wanted to be helpful, to help humanity, and have a career that was a force of good in the world,” she said.

Lawyers for the state of Minnesota, as well as the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, renewed their calls on Saturday night for a federal judge to temporarily block the surge in immigration enforcement. A hearing on that case is scheduled for Monday.

“The need for emergency relief is urgent and undeniable,” the lawyers said in a letter.

Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles said the city had filed an amicus brief in a federal lawsuit calling for a halt to the Trump administration’s deployment of federal agents in Minneapolis and St. Paul. “This violence has to stop and the President must remove these armed, federal forces from Minneapolis and other American cities,” she said in a statement.

Read Bondi’s Letter to Minnesota’s Governor

Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota on Saturday that blamed him and other Democratic officials for allowing “lawlessness” in the state. It was not immediately clear if the letter had been sent before or after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.

Witnesses describe the fatal shooting in court filings.

A doctor who lives near the scene where Alex Jeffrey Pretti was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday described in a sworn court filing how agents initially hesitated and asked for proof of a medical license when the doctor tried to approach and render aid. And a person who said they were standing near Mr. Pretti disputed the Department of Homeland Security’s account of that incident in another sworn court filing.

The shooting of Mr. Pretti, 37, renewed protests and clashes with law enforcement in a city where tensions over aggressive federal immigration action are high. Video footage of the encounter appeared to contradict parts of the federal government’s narrative of what happened, and the latest court filings raised further questions.

The doctor, whose name was redacted from the publicly available version of the court filing, described themselves as a pediatrician and said they had witnessed parts of the encounter from a nearby apartment. Though their view was from a distance, they described seeing a man being shoved to the ground and then shot several times. After the gunfire, they described going outside, telling an agent that they were a physician and asking to check the person who had been shot.

The doctor said they were initially turned down, but eventually allowed to go to the person after being patted down.

“Normally, I would not have been so persistent,” the doctor said in their statement, “but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him.”

The doctor described checking for a pulse, finding none, and then beginning C.P.R. The man appeared to have been shot several times, the doctor said. Shortly after he started C.P.R., emergency medical personnel arrived and took over, the doctor said.\

After the shooting, the doctor described returning home as protests intensified.

“I was sobbing and shaking uncontrollably,” they said in the statement.

Once tear gas began seeping into their apartment from the street below, they said they got in a car and drove to a friend’s home.

“I am not sure when I will return to my apartment,” the doctor wrote. “I do not feel safe in my city.”

Almost immediately after agents shot Mr. Pretti on Saturday morning, federal officials claimed that he had endangered agents with a gun he was carrying, and some later accused him of “domestic terrorism.”

But videos on social media that were verified by The New York Times appear to contradict portions of the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting, and the Minneapolis police chief, Brian O’Hara, said that Mr. Pretti was believed to be licensed to legally carry a gun.

Another person who said they witnessed the shooting also submitted a sworn statement in court on Saturday. Like the doctor’s statement, it was filed as part of a lawsuit challenging federal agents’ interactions with protesters.

“I have read the statement from D.H.S. about what happened and it is wrong,” said that person, who described themselves as a children’s entertainer specializing in face painting. “The man did not approach the agents with a gun. He approached them with a camera. He was just trying to help a woman get up and they took him to the ground.

That witness described hearing whistles — which Minneapolis residents have used to alert people to the presence of immigration agents — and going toward the noise to observe and record on Saturday morning.

The person said they walked toward an area where someone was being thrown to the ground and then started filming. When an agent asked them to move back, the witness said, they slowly did so. Another man who was in the street and who was also recording remained there and continued filming, the witness said.

“The man stayed in the street, filming as the other observers I mentioned earlier were being forced backward by another ICE agent threatening them with pepper spray,” the witness statement said. “The man went closer to support them as they got threatened, just with his camera out. I didn’t see him reach for or hold a gun.”

One person was thrown to the ground by an agent, the witness said, and pepper spray was used. The man who had been filming — almost certainly Mr. Pretti, though no name was used in the court filing — tried to help the person who had fallen, the statement said.

“The agents pulled the man on the ground,” the statement said, adding that the witness was perhaps five feet away. “I didn’t see him touch any of them — he wasn’t even turned toward them. It didn’t look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didn’t see him with a gun. They threw him to the ground. Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times.”

The court filing said that a video taken by the witness was also filed with the court, but that footage was not immediately accessible through an online court records system.

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the witness statements.

Those sworn statements were filed as part of a lawsuit backed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota that accused federal agents of repeatedly violating protesters’ rights during a recent surge of immigration enforcement. The federal judge hearing that case issued an injunction earlier this month that imposed restrictions on agents. The Trump administration appealed, and an appellate court issued an administrative stay this week that blocked the injunction.

On Saturday, lawyers for the protesters filed an emergency motion that asked the appellate court to allow the injunction to go back into effect.

In California, thousands of protesters gathered for anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland, among other cities. Protesters in downtown L.A. blew whistles in solidarity with immigrant neighborhoods across the country, where people have begun using the sound to signal ICE sightings. One man carried the state flags of California and Minnesota, tied together.

Lawyers for the state of Minnesota, as well as the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, renewed their calls on Saturday night for a federal judge to temporarily block the surge in immigration enforcement. A hearing on that case is scheduled for Monday.

“The need for emergency relief is urgent and undeniable,” the lawyers said in a letter.

Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles said the city had filed an amicus brief in a federal lawsuit calling for a halt to the Trump administration’s deployment of federal agents in Minneapolis and St. Paul. “This violence has to stop and the President must remove these armed, federal forces from Minneapolis and other American cities,” she said in a statement.

Witnesses describe the fatal shooting in court filings.

A doctor who lives near the scene where Alex Jeffrey Pretti was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday described in a sworn court filing how agents initially hesitated and asked for proof of a medical license when the doctor tried to approach and render aid. And a person who said they were standing near Mr. Pretti disputed the Department of Homeland Security’s account of that incident in another sworn court filing.

The shooting of Mr. Pretti, 37, renewed protests and clashes with law enforcement in a city where tensions over aggressive federal immigration action are high. Video footage of the encounter appeared to contradict parts of the federal government’s narrative of what happened, and the latest court filings raised further questions.

The doctor, whose name was redacted from the publicly available version of the court filing, described themselves as a pediatrician and said they had witnessed parts of the encounter from a nearby apartment. Though their view was from a distance, they described seeing a man being shoved to the ground and then shot several times. After the gunfire, they described going outside, telling an agent that they were a physician and asking to check the person who had been shot.

The doctor said they were initially turned down, but eventually allowed to go to the person after being patted down.

“Normally, I would not have been so persistent,” the doctor said in their statement, “but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him.”

The doctor described checking for a pulse, finding none, and then beginning C.P.R. The man appeared to have been shot several times, the doctor said. Shortly after he started C.P.R., emergency medical personnel arrived and took over, the doctor said.\

After the shooting, the doctor described returning home as protests intensified.

“I was sobbing and shaking uncontrollably,” they said in the statement.

Once tear gas began seeping into their apartment from the street below, they said they got in a car and drove to a friend’s home.

“I am not sure when I will return to my apartment,” the doctor wrote. “I do not feel safe in my city.”

Almost immediately after agents shot Mr. Pretti on Saturday morning, federal officials claimed that he had endangered agents with a gun he was carrying, and some later accused him of “domestic terrorism.”

But videos on social media that were verified by The New York Times appear to contradict portions of the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting, and the Minneapolis police chief, Brian O’Hara, said that Mr. Pretti was believed to be licensed to legally carry a gun.

Another person who said they witnessed the shooting also submitted a sworn statement in court on Saturday. Like the doctor’s statement, it was filed as part of a lawsuit challenging federal agents’ interactions with protesters.

“I have read the statement from D.H.S. about what happened and it is wrong,” said that person, who described themselves as a children’s entertainer specializing in face painting. “The man did not approach the agents with a gun. He approached them with a camera. He was just trying to help a woman get up and they took him to the ground.

That witness described hearing whistles — which Minneapolis residents have used to alert people to the presence of immigration agents — and going toward the noise to observe and record on Saturday morning.

The person said they walked toward an area where someone was being thrown to the ground and then started filming. When an agent asked them to move back, the witness said, they slowly did so. Another man who was in the street and who was also recording remained there and continued filming, the witness said.

“The man stayed in the street, filming as the other observers I mentioned earlier were being forced backward by another ICE agent threatening them with pepper spray,” the witness statement said. “The man went closer to support them as they got threatened, just with his camera out. I didn’t see him reach for or hold a gun.”

One person was thrown to the ground by an agent, the witness said, and pepper spray was used. The man who had been filming — almost certainly Mr. Pretti, though no name was used in the court filing — tried to help the person who had fallen, the statement said.

“The agents pulled the man on the ground,” the statement said, adding that the witness was perhaps five feet away. “I didn’t see him touch any of them — he wasn’t even turned toward them. It didn’t look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didn’t see him with a gun. They threw him to the ground. Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times.”

The court filing said that a video taken by the witness was also filed with the court, but that footage was not immediately accessible through an online court records system.

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the witness statements.

Those sworn statements were filed as part of a lawsuit backed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota that accused federal agents of repeatedly violating protesters’ rights during a recent surge of immigration enforcement.

Man Killed by Federal Agents in Minneapolis Was Holding a Phone, Not a Gun

Videos analyzed by The New York Times appear to contradict federal accounts of the shooting. The man, an I.C.U. nurse, was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said.

VIDEO ANALYSIS & Video verified by The New York Times shows the fatal shooting of a man by federal agents in Minneapolis ›

Pinned

By Ernesto Londoño, Devon Lum, Hamed Aleaziz, and Mitch Smith – Ernesto Londoño reported from the scene in Minneapolis.

Here’s the latest.

Federal officials sought to portray a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident killed by Border Patrol agents on Saturday as a domestic terrorist, saying he wanted to “massacre” law enforcement, even as videos emerged that appeared to directly contradict their account.

The man, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was an intensive-care nurse described by the Minneapolis police chief as a U.S. citizen with no criminal record. Federal officials said he was armed, but there is no sign in videos analyzed by The New York Times that he pulled his weapon, or that agents even knew he had one until he was already pinned on the sidewalk.

An agent had already removed Mr. Pretti’s gun when two other agents opened fire, shooting him in the back and as he lay on the ground. At least 10 shots were fired, killing him. Mr. Pretti had a legal permit to carry a firearm, said the police chief, Brian O’Hara.

The shooting on a frigid morning in Minneapolis’s Whittier neighborhood renewed protests and clashes with law enforcement in a city where tensions have reached a breaking point after weeks of aggressive federal immigration action. Federal agents deployed tear gas and flash bangs to drive demonstrators away from the shooting scene as they demanded that local police officers arrest the agents who killed Mr. Pretti.

Officials said protests in Minneapolis had remained mostly peaceful, with a few exceptions. But as dusk fell, officials deployed the National Guard to ensure that demonstrations did not turn violent. At least 1,000 people turned out for a vigil for Mr. Pretti in Whittier Park on Saturday night, despite subzero temperatures.

A colleague of Mr. Pretti, Dimitri Drekonja, said he had worked as a nurse at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. “He was a really great colleague and a really great friend,” Mr. Drekonja said. “The default look on his face was a smile.”

Here’s what we’re covering:

• Video analysis: Video footage posted to social media and verified by The Times shows Mr. Pretti stepping between a woman and an agent who is pepper spraying her. Other agents then pepper spray Mr. Pretti, who is holding a phone in one hand and nothing in the other. His weapon remains concealed until federal agents find and take it from him. Concealed or open carry is legal for permit holders in Minnesota. Read more ›

In California, thousands of protesters gathered for anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland, among other cities. Protesters in downtown L.A. blew whistles in solidarity with immigrant neighborhoods across the country, where people have begun using the sound to signal ICE sightings. One man carried the state flags of California and Minnesota, tied together.

Democrats seek to rein in ICE, Noem after fatal Minneapolis shooting

by Mike Lillis and Rebecca Beitsch – 01/10/26 5:00 PM ET

The growing uproar over Wednesday’s fatal shooting by a U.S. immigration officer in Minneapolis is spreading quickly on Capitol Hill, where a chorus of Democrats in both chambers are launching a blitz of proposals to rein in President Trump’s surge of federal forces in blue regions around the country.

Democrats are pushing a wide range of responses, including efforts to suspend all Minnesota operations of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) immediately; end qualified immunity for ICE officers more broadly; and call Kristi Noem, the head of the Homeland Security Department (DHS), to testify before Congress.

Still others want to go a long step further and impeach Noem, who has characterized the victim of the shooting, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good, as a domestic terrorist who sought to harm federal law enforcers in Minneapolis.

“The murder of Renee Macklin Good is a tragic episode in a story of harm and destruction orchestrated by Secretary Noem and ICE that must not be tolerated anywhere,” Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) said Friday in a statement supporting her impeachment.

Democrats have few tools at their disposal, given their minority status in both chambers. But they’ve been encouraged by a series of recent victories on other hot-button issues — including an extension of ObamaCare subsidies and the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files — which required a buildup of public pressure to win bipartisan support. Some Democrats are ready to launch a similar full-court press in the effort to restrain ICE. 

“You’ve got to take advantage of any leverage that you have,” Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.) said. “People are coming up with as many creative ideas in making use [of that leverage].” 

One area where Democrats do maintain influence pertains to government spending. Congress this month is racing to adopt three appropriations packages ahead of a Jan. 30 shutdown deadline. One of those packages will include funding for the DHS, and some Democrats want to withhold their support for that bill to demand new limits on Trump’s deportation forces nationwide.

“We should not be giving money for an increase in the ICE budget,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said Friday. “We should be fighting this.”

Specifically, many Democrats want to adopt new rules for federal immigration officers, including a ban on face masks and a requirement that they show warrants prior to arrests. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) is expected to unveil legislation promoting those changes, and House Democrats are already jumping on board.

“In many ways they’ve become lawless at this point,” one House Democrat said Friday, requesting anonymity to discuss the strategy. “No search warrants. Masks. Refusing to tell people why they’re being picked up. Deporting people to places without telling their family. You can’t have that.”

Those efforts are being cheered by liberal activists off of Capitol Hill, but they’re also creating new challenges for Democratic leaders who just won a big victory on health care, with the House’s passage of the ObamaCare subsidies, and want to focus squarely on the issue of affordability heading into November’s midterms. 

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) has called the Minneapolis shooting “an abomination,” saying there is no evidence to support the official claims that the federal officer was justified in using deadly force against Macklin Good. 

“Blood is clearly on the hands of those individuals within the administration who’ve been pushing an extreme policy that has nothing to do with immigration enforcement connected to removing violent felons from this country,” Jeffries told reporters this week. 

But he has also declined to endorse any of the strongest proposals being floated from within his own caucus, including the notion of holding up DHS funding to win policy concessions. Instead, he’s said only that Democrats will discuss “a strong and forceful and appropriate legislative response” in the coming days. 

Others aren’t waiting that long. 

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, said there have been discussions both about ways to target ICE funding but also on whether to include “riders” that could prohibit the agency from using funds for certain activities. 

“We are going to continue to press, and I think there is a pathway to accountability through the appropriations process. I believe we should use that. And I think there are lots of different ways of going about it. I’m not necessarily sure which one, but I expect that this will become an issue during the appropriations process,” Goldman told The Hill.

“There’s always the possibility of some degree of funding, but it’s also — you could put a rider in about restrictions or conditions … using funding to say that you can say no funding can be used for X, Y or Z.”

House Democrats have previously had success with similar measures. In one such rider, they barred the use of any funds to restrict lawmakers from making unannounced visits to detention centers. When the Department of Homeland Security tried to change its visitation policy, lawmakers sued and won. 

Goldman alongside Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) also introduced a bill to end qualified immunity for ICE officers.

The officer who killed Macklin Good can face prosecution. But such cases are often an uphill battle because the standard for evaluating excessive force cases largely rests on whether officers felt their lives were threatened.
