Protests continued in Minneapolis after immigration agents fatally shot 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti during an enforcement operation. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said the country was at an “inflection point” and again asked President Donald Trump to remove federal immigration agents from the city. Federal officials said Pretti was shot after brandishing a gun, a claim disputed by local authorities and his family. Trump said ICE agents would leave “at some point” but gave no timeline. Vigils were held across the city, while protests spread to New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Business leaders and lawmakers also called for de-escalation and accountability. (PC: BBC)
