Federal officers placed on leave after fatal Alex Pretti shooting
Federal officers involved in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis have been placed on paid administrative leave, as the Department of Homeland Security faces mounting pressure for accountability. The incident has intensified political tensions, with President Trump removing the operation's leader and promising an investigation, despite skepticism from Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Compounding the unrest, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was attacked at a town hall meeting, shortly after being criticized by Trump. Amid the turmoil, Democrats are pushing to defund the Department of Homeland Security in an upcoming spending package, risking a government shutdown, while Germany warns its citizens about potential violence in the U.S.
