00:00Three deadly shootings, all linked to federal immigration agents, all within weeks.
00:28And now, the Trump administration is pulling agents back and firing top officials.
00:34So what went wrong, and why does this matter far beyond Minnesota?
00:39On January 24, 2026, ICE agents shot and killed Alex Preddy, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, during
00:48an enforcement operation in Minneapolis.
00:51Video shows Preddy being wrestled to the ground, disarmed, and then shot multiple times.
00:58Including in the back.
01:00This was not an isolated incident.
01:03Just weeks earlier, Renee Macklin-Good, a nurse, was shot and killed while sitting in her car.
01:09She too, a U.S. citizen.
01:12A third fatal shooting followed soon after.
01:15Body cam footage and bystander videos have since sparked one question across the country.
01:22Was this law enforcement or excessive force?
01:25The backlash was swift and loud.
01:29By January 26, President Trump announced a review and removed Gregory Bovino, the Border
01:35Patrol official overseeing the Minnesota surge.
01:39This is the same official who had publicly praised the agent involved in an earlier shooting.
01:45Political agents were then partially withdrawn from the state after what the White House
01:49called a productive call with Governor Tim Walz.
01:53The tone had changed from defense to damage control.
01:58All of this comes as Trump's second-term immigration crackdown is in full swing.
02:03More than 540,000 deportations since January 2025.
02:09Daily arrest quotas.
02:11Aggressive tactics.
02:13Critics say speed replaced safety.
02:16Former officials described burnout, pressure, and a system where missing quotas could cost managers
02:22their jobs.
02:24The result?
02:252025 becomes ICE's deadliest year in custody in two decades.
02:32Public opinion is shifting.
02:34A majority of voters now say ICE has gone too far.
02:38Protests are growing.
02:40Even some Republicans are breaking ranks.
02:43In Congress, Democrats and a few GOP senators are threatening to block DHS funding.
02:50A shutdown is now on the table.
02:53Minnesota has become ground zero.
02:56State leaders accuse federal agents of ignoring local laws and blocking investigations.
03:02Trump fires back, blaming sanctuary policies and warning of stronger federal action.
03:09Other states are watching closely, and some are already pulling back cooperation.
03:15What was meant to show strength is now being seen as a tactical retreat.
03:20And the question ahead is simple.
03:23But stakes are high.
03:25Can this immigration agenda survive its own consequences?
03:29No one on the streets!
03:30No justice!
03:31No one!
