A growing number of Republicans are questioning or criticizing the Trump administration’s response to the killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis on Saturday.
The criticism has extended beyond the handful of Republicans who are known for periodically differing from Trump.
Some Trump allies are also among those questioning immigration agents’ tactics or the Department of Homeland Security’s handling of the shooting. At minimum, they are calling for an investigation into Pretti’s shooting.
Straight white 2nd amendment enjoyer. I think that last one is where they really stepped in it with all the inflammatory language that basically amounted to “we have a right to execute you if you have a gun near us”.
