    • Border Czar Arrives in Minneapolis as Pressure Mounts After Alex Pretti Deadly Shooting

      Border Czar Arrives in Minneapolis as Pressure Mounts After Alex Pretti Deadly Shooting
      Jan 27 2026
      Tuesday, January 27 — Major leadership changes and legal pressure mark a new chapter in Minnesota’s struggle with the federal immigration crackdown. This all comes following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal agents. President Trump has sent Border Czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis to coordinate operations as Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino is reassigned amid mounting criticism and protests over how enforcement has unfolded. We break down where multiple investigations now stand, including federal court hearings over efforts to halt Operation Metro Surge and preserve evidence in Pretti’s death, as state officials accuse federal authorities of blocking access to the scene and mischaracterizing what happened. Plus, Minnesota pushes back legally and politically: a judge is weighing arguments over the constitutionality of the federal operation, demands from the Department of Justice, and claims from the state that Operation Metro Surge was designed to punish sanctuary policies. We also remember the life of Alex Pretti, a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse remembered by colleagues and family as compassionate, community-minded, and devoted to helping others. And as vigils grow and memorials fill South Minneapolis, Minnesotans continue to grapple with outrage and calls for accountability.

      Remembering Alex Pretti, the 37-Year-Old ICU Nurse Shot and Killed by Border Patrol, Operation Metro Surge Under Fire in Court
      Jan 26 2026
      Monday, January 26 — The world is watching Minnesota after Border Patrol shot and killed 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti in South Minneapolis. We break down what federal officials say happened, why videos from the scene and sworn witness declarations directly contradict those claims, and where multiple investigations now stand. Plus, President Donald Trump and Governor Tim Walz speak by phone as Minnesota presses for independent investigations and a reduction in federal agents. We take you inside federal court, where Attorney General Keith Ellison argues to end “Operation Metro Surge,” and why a judge zeroed in on demands from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, including requests for voter data and changes to state policy. We also cover a separate court order barring DHS from destroying evidence, allegations that state investigators were blocked from the scene, and new developments in hearings happening today. And we remember the life of Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA, described as compassionate, selfless, and devoted to veterans, as vigils grow, a memorial fills 26th and Nicollet, and Minnesotans show up to grieve together.
