YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump's mass deportation machine killed two Americans in Minneapolis — ICU nurse Alex Pretti and community member Renee Good — both shot by ICE agents during immigration enforcement operations in January 2026. Their families are left without answers while the White House scrambles to contain the political fallout.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair privately told House Republicans at their Florida retreat to stop promoting "mass deportations" and refocus messaging on violent criminals. The reason? A Politico poll showing 49% of Americans view Trump's approach as too aggressive — including 20% of his own 2024 voters. The machine became politically inconvenient, so Trump quietly turned down the volume.
