TL;DR Summary

A 37-year-old Minneapolis ICU nurse, Alex Pretti, was fatally shot by federal immigration agents during an enforcement operation, prompting Governor Tim Walz to call the action a 'federal occupation' and urging calm while DHS and local officials debate details. The incident comes amid a broader ICE crackdown, protests in the city, and partisan backlash, with lawmakers pushing back on DHS funding and questions about whether Pretti brandished a weapon.
