Congressional Democrats are threatening a US government shutdown after federal immigration agents shot dead a second American citizen.
On Saturday in Minnesota, ICE officials killed intensive care nurse Alex Preti as they subdued him.
Widely circulated videos showing the incident from multiple angles suggest that a handgun, which Preti had a permit to carry, may have been removed from him by an agent before other officers opened fire.
Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota spoke to ABC's This Week program.

In a telephone interview with the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, President Trump declined to say whether the federal officer who fatally shot Preti had acted appropriately and said the administration was reviewing the incident.

Steve Reid, the government's housing secretary, says it's the wrong time for him to return to Westminster.

Bloomberg understands that Keir Starmer told the panel that Burnham's standing would trigger months of psychodrama and badly damage Labour ahead of May's local elections.
Posting on social media on Sunday, Burnham said he was disappointed by the decision and concerned about its potential impact.
