Minneapolis live updates: DOJ launches investigation into Pretti killing, Deputy AG Blanche says

President Donald Trump said on social media that Alex Pretti and Renee Good were killed by federal agents because of "Democrat ensued chaos."

"Democrats are putting Illegal Alien Criminals over Taxpaying, Law-Abiding Citizens, and they have created dangerous circumstances for EVERYONE involved," he wrote. "Tragically, two American Citizens have lost their lives as a result of this Democrat ensued chaos."

Trump said he's asking Congress for "immediate" legislation banning sanctuary cities.

Trump also called on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and "EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor" in America to "formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation's Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos, and Violence."

Trump outlined four steps is requesting. He said, "1. Governor Walz and Mayor Frey should turn over all Criminal Illegal Aliens that are currently incarcerated in their State Prisons and Jails to Federal Authorities, along with all Illegal Criminals with an active warrant or known Criminal History, for Immediate Deportation. 2. State and Local Law Enforcement must agree to turn over all Illegal Aliens arrested by Local Police. 3. Local Police must assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes. 4. Democrat Politicians must partner with the Federal Government to protect American Citizens in the rapid removal of all Criminal Illegal Aliens in our Country."

"The events of this weekend in Minneapolis are terrifying, deeply disturbing, and heartbreaking -- with yet another U.S. citizen losing their life while taking part in the time-honored and Constitutionally protected activity of being present to observe and peacefully advocate for their beliefs," attorney Antonio Romanucci said in a statement.

Good, a 37-year-old mother and Minneapolis resident, was shot and killed by a federal agent on Jan. 7. Federal officials say that the agents acted in self-defense after Good tried to ram them with her car in what they have labeled an act of domestic terrorism. Local officials have disputed that characterization.

Romanucci's statement comes a day after a 37-year-old man was shot and killed Saturday morning in Minneapolis, the second shooting of a U.S. citizen this month by federal agents in the city.

The Department of Homeland Security alleged that Pretti approached Border Patrol agents with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun, and "violently resisted" when agents tried to disarm him. Local officials have disputed that characterization.

"We urge all Americans to trust their own eyes as they interpret the horrific video, and to call for an absolute end to ICE activity in Minneapolis," Romanucci said. "ICE agents can leave Minneapolis. The residents of Minnesota cannot. We call for a complete and immediate end to the ICE invasion of this beautiful American city."

In an interview with ABC News' Minneapolis affiliate KSTP, a childhood friend of Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old man shot and killed by a federal agent in Minneapolis, reflects on growing up with him.

Travis Vanden Heuvel said "tragedy became devastation" when he found out that it was Pretti, an ICU nurse at a VA hospital, who was fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent Saturday morning.

"He was someone who was extremely kind, who was always putting himself in service to others. I mean, even as an 11,12-year-old boy, he was someone who asked how you were doing," Vanden Heuvel said.

"He was someone who could light up a room. People gravitated towards him and his energy. ... It didn't surprise me years later to learn that he would go on to become a nurse and continue to serve people in, you know, a loving and giving spirit that I knew of him when we were just kids," Vanden Heuvel added.

Vice President JD Vance shared a post on X on Sunday, placing blame on Minnesota officials for the ongoing unrest in the state surrounding immigration enforcement.

He claimed that when he was in Minneapolis, he was told a story of federal agents being mobbed by protesters when they were dining at a restaurant.

"This is just a taste of what's happening in Minneapolis because state and local officials refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement," Vance wrote.

The vice president referenced the second fatal shooting this month of an American citizen in Minneapolis at the hands of a federal agent. Alex Pretti, 37, an ICU nurse at a VA hospital, was fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent Saturday morning.

"They have created the chaos so they can have moments like yesterday, where someone tragically dies and politicians get to grandstand about the evils of enforcing the border," Vance said of state and local officials.
