Minneapolis shooting
Paisley Daily Express
|January 26, 2026
DEMOCRATS in the United States have demanded that federal immigration officers leave the state of Minnesota after a US Border Patrol agent fatally shot a man in the city of Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of protesters on to the streets and increasing tensions in a city already shaken by another shooting death earlier this month.
-
Family members identified the man who was killed as Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse who was protesting against US President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in his city. After the shooting, an angry crowd gathered and protesters clashed with federal officers, who wielded batons and deployed flash bangs.
The Minnesota National Guard was assisting local police at the direction of governor Tim Walz, officials said. National Guard troops were sent to the site of Saturday’s shooting and a federal building where officers have confronted demonstrators daily.
