An adviser to US president Donald Trump spoke for the first time on Tuesday of possible breaches of “protocol” on the part of federal immigration police in the shooting death of a 37-year-old nurse,Alex Pretti,during protests in Minneapolis.
The change of tone from Sephen Miller, a very influential and radical advisor to Donald Trump, comes as the president announced his desire to “de-escalate” the anti-immigration operation in this city in the north of the United States, on edge as the death of two demonstrators since the beginning of January.
New episode of these tensions: the attack Tuesday evening on the Democratic deputy of Somali origin, Ilhan Omar, a figure of the American left, during a public meeting in Minneapolis. An individual rushed towards the elected official brandishing a syringe, filled with an unidentified foul-smelling liquid, before being subdued by the security service.
Unscathed, Ms. Ilhan, one of the favorite targets of Donald Trump’s verbal attacks against Democrats, continued her speech.
“We must once and for all abolish” the immigration police and Homeland Security Minister Kristi Noem “must resign,” she said.
The American left opposes the vast deployment in Minneapolis of federal agents who have come to arrest undocumented immigrants in large numbers to honour
Shooting of Civilian Sparks Outrage, Homeland Security Investigates
Two police officers shot a civilian five seconds after a federal agent announced, “He has a gun!” according to a preliminary report from the Department of Homeland Security sent to Congress and reported Tuesday.
The incident has drawn swift condemnation. NBA star Victor Wembanyama reacted to the news, stating, “Its crazy that people are trying to act as if murdering civilians was something acceptable.”
The anti-migrant operation is now being led by Tom Homan, a former official under Donald Trump. Homan met Tuesday with local Democratic officials who have been sharply critical of the eviction operations.
“Even if we don’t agree on everything, these meetings are a productive starting point,” Homan posted on X.
The Department of Homeland Security investigation is ongoing.
