Pritzker urges 'unified response' from Democrat, Republican governors after Border Patrol shoots armed man
This isn't complicated—it's willpower.
After a Border Patrol officer fatally shot an armed individual in Minneapolis on Saturday, Democratic governors outside the state jumped to echo Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's condemnation of the Trump administration.
"Masked federal agents in Minnesota just shot and killed another person. We must put a stop to Trump’s ICE. Now. Stop the funding, stop the occupations, stop the killings," Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said on X.
"I am asking my fellow Republican and Democratic Governors across the nation to have a unified response," he said in a follow-up post. "We must all stand against the lawlessness being inflicted in our states."
Kathy Hochul, the Democrat governor of New York, also weighed in on X.

"Another horrific outcome from a federal operation that has clearly spun out of control," she said. "Americans have had enough of lawless conduct masquerading as enforcement. President Trump is responsible for putting a stop to it."
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, Walz called immigration officers "untrained."
"I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening," Walz said. "The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now."
At a press conference later Saturday, Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino said the officer involved in the shooting was "highly trained" and had been serving as a Border Patrol agent for 8 years.
Bovino said Department of Homeland Security (DHS) law enforcement officers were conducting an operation targeting Jose Huerta-Chuma, an illegal alien with a criminal history including domestic assault to intentional conflict bodily harm, disorderly conduct and driving without a valid license, early Saturday morning.
During the operation, another individual approached U.S. Border Patrol agents with a nine-millimeter semi-automatic handgun, Bovino said.
"The agents attempted to disarm the individual, but he violently resisted, fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, a Border Patrol agent fired defensive shots, Bovino said. "Medics on the scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject, but the subject was pronounced dead at the scene."
President Donald Trump reacted to the incident in a Truth Social post.
"This is the gunman’s gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go – What is that all about? Where are the local Police? Why weren’t …
