Federal responses follow fatal shooting of Minneapolis nurse by Border Patrol.
President Trump spoke with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on January 26, 2026, announcing partial withdrawal of federal agents from Operation Metro Surge, contingent on state cooperation, following the fatal shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents. This incident, the second deadly one that month, has sparked intensified protests and clashes over immigration enforcement. White House border czar Tom Homan arrived in Minneapolis to redirect efforts toward serious criminals amid backlash against tactics by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and reassigned Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino. Four days after the shooting during an ICE raid, Homan announced tactical adjustments as protests grew, leadership changed, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar launched a gubernatorial bid citing the violence. The U.S. Department of Justice launched a civil rights investigation on January 30 into Pretti's death, excluding the earlier death of Renee Macklin Good, amid weeks of protests; Gov. Walz expressed doubt over de-escalation promises while defending protesters' First Amendment rights. A federal judge denied Minnesota's request to halt the operation in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, with U.S. District Judge Katherine M. Menendez ruling the state's arguments lacked precedent, allowing Operation Metro Surge to proceed alongside the lawsuit. Minnesota Republican Party chair Alex Plechash acknowledged the operation's goal of targeting serious offenders but called for investigation into reports of U.S. citizens being profiled if confirmed, noting intense protests after two fatal shootings by federal officers.
