Bystander video shows U.S. Border Patrol agents tackling and fatally shooting 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti on January 24, 2026, in Minneapolis as he aided a woman during an ICE operation—contradicting DHS claims of armed resistance. The second fatal shooting in local ICE raids this month has fueled protests, bipartisan calls for investigation, and President Trump's dispatch of border czar Tom Homan to the city.
The Department of Homeland Security publicly pushed back on former North Carolina Gov. and U.S. Senate candidate Roy Cooper after he objected to tactics used in an immigration enforcement surge in Charlotte. Cooper warned against sweeps based on appearance; DHS pointed to years of detainer refusals and said the operation netted more than 130 arrests in its first two days.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order on Monday creating 'ICE-free zones' to prevent federal immigration agents from using city property for raids. The move responds to the Trump administration's 'Operation Midway Blitz,' which has led to over 1,000 arrests in Illinois. Tensions have escalated with reports of violence against federal agents.
