From USA TODAY.
Two vastly different accounts emerged from officials regarding Alex Pretti, the man a Border Patrol agent fatally shot in Minneapolis on Jan. 24.
Colleagues and family described the 37-year-old Minneapolis resident as a compassionate, skilled nurse who was "troubled" by the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement crackdown on the Twin Cities.
Shortly after the shooting, federal officials labeled him a "domestic terrorist" who arrived at the scene of an immigration enforcement action with a gun to "inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement."
Watch above to see how DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis mayor discussed the shooting as well as ICE and DHS tactics in Minnesota.
