Gov. Walz calls for removal of federal agents after Minneapolis shooting
"I don't care if you are conservative and you are flying a Donald Trump flag, you're a Libertarian 'don't tread on me,' you're a Democratic Socialist of America, this is an inflection point, America," Walz said at a news conference, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
Walz argued that Pretti’s death was unjustified, citing video evidence that contradicts claims from President Donald Trump, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, FBI Director Kash Patel, and US Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino that Pretti attacked federal agents.
He described Pretti as "beloved by his family" and a respected member of the community, calling him an "accomplished ICU nurse, skillful in ability to work with veterans, someone who's beloved by the community, (had) no criminal record, (and a) lawful firearms owner."
Multiple eyewitness videos reportedly show Pretti assisting a female protester after she was pushed down by an ICE agent. The footage indicates that a federal agent then pepper-sprayed Pretti before he was wrestled to the ground, where one officer removed his legally-owned handgun before another agent fatally shot him.
"And you know what you saw," Walz continued, referencing the widely viewed video recordings that challenge the federal government’s account of the incident.
