Minneapolis in Turmoil: Death of Nurse "Alex" Sparks National Outrage as Trump Defends Federal Response

The shooting of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretty by federal agents in Minneapolis has ignited a fierce political and social storm across the United States. President Donald Trump, while stating that the administration is "reviewing everything," criticized the deceased for carrying a "fully loaded" weapon at a protest. Trump praised the federal agents' overall performance as "fantastic" but hinted at a possible withdrawal of immigration enforcement units from the city in the future.

Democratic leaders and civil rights activists have slammed the official narrative as "false," arguing that Pretty’s firearm was legally licensed and never used to threaten officers. The incident has intensified the backlash against Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement, with critics accusing federal agencies of being "out of control." As social media erupts in protest, the case has become a flashpoint for the ongoing debate over gun rights and federal policing in America.
