‎Protests have continued in Minneapolis and other US cities over the fatal shooting by immigration agents of 37-year-old intensive care nurse Alex Pretti.
‎Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said America was at an inflection point and repeated calls for US President Donald Trump to remove federal immigration agents from the city.
‎The US president meanwhile called for the governor to turn over all Criminal Illegal Aliens incarcerated in state prisons for deportation.
‎Trump also signaled in an interview on Sunday that he might be willing to eventually withdraw ICE agents from the Minneapolis area, but did not provide a time frame.
‎Meanwhile Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told Newsmen that state officers were blocked from accessing the scene of the shooting by federal agents, despite securing a search warrant.
‎He added that all levels of law enforcement in Minnesota have been working with federal law enforcement for several years, and that the unfolding situation in Minnesota was hampering agencies’ ability to continue such investigations.
