White Houe press secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed Democrats in Minnesota for Saturday’s killing of Alex Pretti, accusing leaders of "spreading lies" regarding Border Patrol and ICE. The shooting was the second fatal shooting by a DHS agent in the state, coming weeks after Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent.

The White House’s comments came after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said President Donald Trump agreed to consider reducing the number of agents in Minnesota and will ensure state investigators can independently probe the Alex Pretti shooting, which involved Border Patrol agents.
