How has the U.S. murder rate changed recently?
An anti-ICE activist shot and killed by federal agents on Saturday morning in Minneapolis. 37-year-old Alex Preddy seen holding a cell phone while standing in the street, appearing to attempt to direct traffic as Border Patrol agents were attempting to arrest an illegal alien outside a donut shop. Two other protesters seen nearby engaging with a U.S. Border Patrol agent. That agent herding the two protesters to the other side of the street, shoving one of them to the ground. Pretti then seen stepping in between the agent and the female protester. At that point, a group of agents arrive, one of them deploying pepper spray against Pretti and the protester on the ground. The agents then swarming Pretti, attempting an arrest as he appears to resist.
Amid the struggle, someone shouts, gun, then several shots ring out. the agents backing away for a moment as Pretti remained silent on the pavement.
What are the impacts of the winter storm across the U.S.?
In the aftermath of the shooting, video capturing multiple angles of the incident circulating widely on social media. Amid the scuffle, agents recovering a 9mm handgun and additional loaded magazines, DHS later posting pictures of both, saying they belonged to Pretti. Interpretations of what happened during those crucial four seconds vary wildly. We will have full analysis of multiple videos frame by frame later today on The Megyn Kelly Show. In the media aftermath, tensions in Minneapolis escalating rapidly. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, both Democrats, delivering heated remarks at separate press conferences.
I just saw a video of more than six masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?
How did Alex Honnold climb Taipei 101 without safety gear?
Donald Trump, I call on you once again, remove this force from Minnesota. They are sowing chaos and violence. We've seen deadly violence from federal agents again and again and again. And quit referring to these people as law enforcement. They are not law enforcement.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at a Saturday presser initially describing the incident this way.
The suspect also had two magazines with ammunition in them that held dozens of rounds. He also had no ID. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.
