Donald Trump announced that he will personally oversee the investigation into the death of Alex Pretti, a Minneapolis resident and intensive care nurse, who died after being shot by federal agents during immigration raids in Minnesota.

Leaving the White House, Trump said he wants an “honorable” investigation and honest,” and stated that he would review the case “with his own eyes.”

“I want an honorable and honest investigation. I have to oversee it myself,” the Republican told the press in an attempt to quell the outrage sparked by Pretti’s death.

The Republican also criticized the victim, a 37-year-old nurse, for carrying a weapon, even though videos of his death show that agents shot him a dozen times in the back while he was on the ground and already unarmed.

“I don’t like that he had a gun. I don’t like that he had two fully loaded magazines,” Trump told the press before delivering a speech in Iowa on the occasion of the November midterm elections.

The announcement marks a change of position by the president, amid growing social and political pressure over the tactics used by federal immigration authorities.

As a reflection, the White House confirmed that after the incident it decided to reduce The intensity of the immigration raids in Minneapolis, a city that has experienced weeks of protests and social tension.

Trump also announced that he sent his border czar, Tom Homan, to speak with local authorities and replace Officer Greg Bovino, who had led the mass raids in the city for the past three weeks.

In an interview with Fox News, Trump indicated that sending Homan is intended to “de-escalate the situation” and emphasized that, despite his firm stance on immigration issues, Homan maintains good relationships with governors and mayors, even in states with a Democratic majority.

Pretti's case is not the only one that has generated controversy. Trump called the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis "terrible." In addition to Pretti, 37-year-old Renee Good died after being shot by an ICE agent on January 7.

These events have drawn criticism not only from activists and immigrant communities, but also from some Republicans and Second Amendment advocates, who question the use of lethal force by federal agents during immigration operations within the United States.

The investigation into Alex Pretti's death continues, while the Trump administration attempts to contain the political and social crisis generated by its immigration policies in Minnesota.
