Trump, Walz Clash Over ICE in Minnesota After Death of Alex Pretti
The Spin
Democratic narrative
Federal agents executed an unarmed American citizen in broad daylight on a Minneapolis street, shooting Alex Pretti after disarming him while he was recording their misconduct with his phone. Transparent lies about this murder reveal a chilling reality: state power is being weaponized against political opposition under the guise of fighting terrorism. This is the literal fulfillment of authoritarian control where citizens documenting federal abuses are killed and then smeared as terrorists.
Republican narrative
An armed individual approached federal officers conducting lawful immigration enforcement operations with a loaded 9mm handgun and multiple magazines, committing an act of domestic terrorism. Governor Walz and Mayor Frey have recklessly inflamed mobs by prejudging the incident before investigations conclude, calling federal law enforcement officers Gestapo and encouraging violent resistance. State leaders are enabling chaos and attacks on officers doing their jobs.
