15:05Now PlayingStatus Coup reporter JT Cestkowski and videojournalist Jon Farina were LIVE ON THE GROUND in Minneapolis for 4 hours on January 24th, 2026 in the aftermath of Trump's Border Patrol murdering 37-year-old U.S. citizen and ICU nurse Alex Pretti. Reporting in brutal -10 degree cold, Cestkowski and Farina covered a WAR ZONE created by Trump's ICE and Border Patrol agents—at times assisted by local law enforcement—with federal immigration agents unleashing a brutal mix of flash bang grenades, tear gas, pepper balls, and other chemical ammunition on unarmed protesters.
