1:50Now PlayingA federal judge will hold a hearing today on whether to limit the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
The hearing comes two days after federal agents shot and killed a protester in Minneapolis — the second protester federal agents have killed there this month. Trump officials have tried to paint the city’s protesters in a negative light, calling them “anarchists” and “insurrectionists,” despite the protests remaining massive but largely peaceful.
The allegations come as some in the Trump administration have also said that Alex Pretti, the man shot and killed by immigration officers in Minneapolis on Saturday, should not have been armed — a claim gun rights activists, and even some Republican lawmakers, have pushed back on.
Police say Pretti had a permit to carry. The Trump administration says Pretti was there to murder federal agents, but videos from the incident show Pretti did not brandish his gun or even appear to be holding it.
