About this listen

President Donald Trump has called for a “very honorable and honest investigation” into the killing of U.S. citizen and ICU nurse Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by a federal agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

In this episode, we break down Trump’s remarks from the White House, his response to mounting public pressure, and the broader implications for federal law enforcement accountability. Trump says he is personally monitoring the investigation as two units of the Department of Homeland Security review the actions of their officers — while the Department of Justice reportedly declines a civil rights probe.

We also examine the role of Trump’s border czar Tom Homan, his meetings with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and the political tensions surrounding the administration’s expanded immigration enforcement efforts.

The episode explores why Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino has reportedly left Minneapolis, and how previous statements by DHS officials — including claims later challenged by video evidence — have intensified public scrutiny.

With comparisons to earlier federal shootings and questions over transparency, this case has become a flashpoint in the national debate over immigration enforcement, civil liberties, and use of force by federal agents.

🎧 Listen till the end for expert context on what this investigation could mean for Trump’s law-and-order agenda, civil rights oversight, and the future of federal policing in major U.S. cities.
