A rising number of Republicans are critiquing the Trump administration’s response to the fatal shooting of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. Critics, including some Trump allies, are calling for an investigation, disputing claims that Pretti threatened agents while holding a cellphone rather than a firearm. GOP Senators have urged for a more measured tone from the administration and emphasized the need for transparency, with some expressing concerns over the implications for gun rights. The incident has sparked broader discussions about immigration enforcement training and the handling of such situations by law enforcement.
