The Trump administration has quickly shifted its approach after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by federal agents. Initially, the administration denied and attacked, portraying Pretti as a domestic terrorist. However, within 24 hours, as videos of the incident went viral, it became clear that the White House was out of touch with public sentiment. The administration has since changed its stance, blaming Democrats for the situation and de-emphasizing the actions of the murdered American nurse. Democrats have increased their criticism of the president's mass deportation policy and aggressive immigration enforcement tactics, potentially leading to another government shutdown.
