Alex Pretti, as he was out that morning, was like so many people in the community that have been keeping an alert eye on what is happening in their neighborhoods.
I just think that that perspective is important to have here.
There is a community strength that we are seeing throughout the Twin Cities right now.
The reaction that we're seeing locally here...
I mean, the governor, Tim Walz of Minnesota, and the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, have regularly been calling on the Trump administration to back off.
On Sunday, there was a press conference that Governor Walz and the attorney general, Keith Ellison, also a Democrat, held.
They talked about the fact that when...
The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the local law enforcement for the state, arrived on site for this fatal shooting.
They were refused access, and then they obtained a judicial warrant and were refused access as well.
Again, we are seeing something similar play out that happened after the killing of Renee Macklin Good, where the state is being shut out of the investigation.
So there's a lot of frustration there.
And there is a lot of effort that's been going on through the courts to try to at least temporarily halt the immigration crackdown in the state that's been ramped up since the beginning of December.
And I think it's important here to mention as well is that Alex Preddy had a legal permit to carry a firearm.
I think that's something that's important here.
Governor Walz's office responded to the Truth Social Post.
His office said he had a productive call with the president earlier today.
The governor made the case that the state needs impartial investigations of the Minneapolis shootings involving federal agents and that they need to reduce the number of federal agents in Minnesota.
And the president agreed, according to his office, that he would talk to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem.
about ensuring the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension being able to conduct an independent investigation as would ordinarily be the case.
And that is a big thing here where the state has been regularly asking to not be shut out of the investigation.
