In a sudden shift, President Donald Trump extended an olive branch to Democratic leaders in Minnesota after criticism erupted over a second fatal shooting of a protester by federal agents this month. This incident is part of a nationwide crackdown on undocumented immigrants, sparking concerns even among Trump's Republican allies.
Following the death of protester Alex Pretti, criticism emerged regarding the federal government's aggressive tactics. Trump's change of stance in Minnesota involved warmer language towards Governor Tim Walz, contrasting sharply with previous personal attacks against him by the administration.
Moreover, Trump's muted response to recent deaths contrasts with previous vehement reactions to violence perceived as targeting his political movement. While criticism continues from within his party, Trump's administration maintains that federal agents are simply aiming to carry out lawful duties.
