Minnesota madness upstages Trump’s Iowa affordability pitch
This affects the entire country.
President Donald Trump’s attempt to use the bully pulpit to tout his administration’s efforts to lower everyday prices for people is being eclipsed by the shocking news that federal officers killed a second anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protester in Minnesota over the weekend.
Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents while recording and attempting to intervene in a federal immigration operation in Minnesota. His death came in the same month that Renee Good, a mother of three, was killed during an altercation with an ICE officer.
Pretti’s death has only further inflamed tensions between protesters, Democratic officials, and federal agents throughout Minnesota. The incident also spurred bipartisan calls in Congress for an investigation and hearings.
“While emotions are no doubt high, a congressional hearing is a place where federal, state, and local community leaders can be heard,” Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI) wrote on X. “I believe Congress can conduct oversight and lead a facts-based discussion.”
Trump has sought to lower tensions, telling the Wall Street Journal he would remove federal immigration agents from Minnesota “at some point.” On Monday, Trump announced he was sending “border czar” Tom Homan to oversee the situation in Minnesota. The president also said he had spoken to Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and the two “seemed to be on a similar wavelength.”
“Nobody in the White House, including President Trump, wants to see people getting hurt or killed in America’s streets,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
Still, the unrest is likely to spill over into Trump’s visit to Iowa on Tuesday, where the president was going to champion his work to lower the cost of living.
“Ending Joe Biden’s economic and affordability disaster has been a Day One priority for President Trump,” a White House official told the Washington Examiner. “The president’s trip out to Iowa will underscore the work that this Administration has already done to raise real wages, cut gas prices, and accelerate economic growth — and what work the Administration will continue doing to keep delivering for the American people.”
Aaron Evans, president of Winning Republican Strategies, said Trump will have no choice but to juggle his handling of the situation in Minnesota with his efforts to improve the economy.
“At the end of the day, he doesn’t really have the luxury of picking one priority over another priority. He’s got …
