Trump administration's trust and credibility tested in wake of Pretti's death in Minneapolis

Jan 27, 2026
Lawmakers are demanding a full federal and state investigation into the Minneapolis shooting of Alex Pretti, saying the credibility of ICE and DHS is at risk amid conflicting accounts. Federal officials initially portrayed Pretti as a violent instigator with a gun, but video footage shows him being pushed and subdued while holding only a phone. The incident has fueled concerns about transparency and trust in the administration, and Trump is under mounting pressure even from parts of his MAGA base as the controversy deepens, as FRANCE 24's Fraser Jackson explains.
