MN - One dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026

[Inthedetails]

Noem basically is side-stepping questions from reporters.

Will there be a criminal investigation?
We will investigate as we always do.

Did Alex brandish a weapon?
People who bring guns to a protest ....
Individual attacked officer (grrr ... no he didn't, he was helping someone up!)

imo

My jaw is on the floor at the lies. And for much of the nation, this is the version they will hear and believe.

DHS SECY Noem is LYING, outright lying today while giving a news brief.
I don't know where this thing is going, but for her to lie without blinking her eyes is terrifying. 1984.

This is seriously the biggest problem with the whole thing - THEY ARE ALL LYING!!!! and no one even blinks an eye. They deflect, they lie, they say whatever they want and nothing ever happens. I’m so mad right now, I’m shaking. All MOO

You see, this is why I'm not watching it. All she was going to do was spout bs

She says the man who was shot had a criminal history, which she claims included domestic assault with intention to inflict bodily harm, disorderly conduct and driving without a valid license.

Even if that extremely dubious claim is true, that has zero to do with him being pepper sprayed, beaten and shot several times.

Victim blaming at it's finest.

No, that was about the person they were there to arrest allegedly...

[Noem] said that Pretti was killed by the Feds “as they carried out their lawful duty to keep Americans safe in the face of illegal aliens”.

Noem said that agents were trying to apprehend a person who was in the US illegally and who had a record of domestic assault, disorderly conduct and driving without a license.

In the process of that, she said, as Border Patrol said earlier, the officers were approached by a third party, an armed man carrying a 9mm pistol...

(AFAIK AP just had traffic violations/parking tickets.)

<modsnip: Quoted post was removed>

In this thread's case, Alex Pretti lived in the area, attended college in the city, worked in the city. He was a resident and U.S. citizen. And, <modsnip>, he had the legal right to have a gun.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said the City of Minneapolis is filing a declaration after Saturday's shooting to encourage the judge to rule on a temporary restraining order on Monday that would grant immediate relief and would help stop the federal operation.

Minneapolis to ask for temporary restraining order to end ICE operation​

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says the city is filing a declaration on Monday to encourage a judge to rule on a temporary restraining order to put a stop to Operation Metro Surge.

"The relief we're asking for is stopping this Operation Metro Surge in the immediacy. It's preventing this massive influx of agents that is making it very difficult for us to do our jobs in the city as well as we need to do them, and we need to do regular day law enforcement as well," Frey said.

When asked if he expects the Trump administration to abide by a court order, Frey said it is his expectation that they will.

"These are the underpinnings of our democracy, of our republic and of this constitution. The answer better be yes. Whether you're a Democrat or you're a Republican, you abide by those court orders," Frey said. "The answer has to be yes if you are a patriot for this country. So yes, my expectation is that they will abide by a court order because there is not an alternative."

Seems like they are purposely confusing the target (the 51-yo man) with the murder victim (37 yo man).

Not you or OP. Original BBC report had it wrong. I heard (endured?) the Noem presser and the Guardian version is correct.

I went back and edited my post also. I missed that Noem was speaking of the person that ICE wanted to arrest, and not the one they shot and killed (Alex).

Exactly

We can all see with our eyes that what Noem is saying is not true
