White House: Trump Blames Democrats for Minneapolis Unrest After Fatal ICE Shooting

  • White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated President Trump does not want Americans hurt but blamed Democrats for the unrest in Minneapolis.
  • The shooting death of Alex Pretti by federal agents was called a "tragedy" by Leavitt, who also expressed sorrow for the parents.
  • Leavitt accused Democratic leaders in Minnesota, Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, of "deliberate and hostile resistance" leading to the tragedy.
  • She criticized Democrats for "spreading lies" about federal law enforcement and demanded full cooperation, including turning over "illegal aliens."
  • Leavitt acknowledged Pretti had a gun permit but stated carrying a weapon when confronted by law enforcement raises the "assumption of risk."

Why It Matters: White House blames Minnesota Democrats for unrest and a fatal ICE shooting, despite Trump's stated concern for safety.
