The Trump administration faced intensifying pressure Sunday over its mass immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, after federal agents shot dead a second US citizen, and graphic cell phone footage again contradicted officials’ immediate description of the incident. The Trump administration quickly claimed that Pretti had intended to harm the federal agents, as it did after Good’s death, pointing to a pistol it said was discovered on him. The Trump administration controversially excluded local investigators from a probe into Good’s killing. Thousands of federal immigration agents have been deployed to heavily Democratic Minneapolis for weeks, after conservative media reported on alleged fraud by Somali immigrants — racially tinged accusations that Trump has repeatedly amplified. Late Saturday, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration not to destroy or alter any evidence from the Pretti killing.
