The two agents who fatally shot a man in Minneapolis over the weekend have been placed on administrative leave, the Department of Homeland Security said on Wednesday, as Donald Trump tried to quell the backlash even while immigration raids in the city continued.
The move, which the DHS emphasized is standard protocol when agents are involved in fatal shootings, comes as the president suggested he would “de-escalate” his immigration enforcement crackdown in the state, but without offering details or whether tactics would change.
In Minnesota, meanwhile, it remained unclear whether there had been any substantial restraining of federal actions, despite Trump recently removing the border patrol commander Greg Bovino. Immigration raids have continued, including an incident on Tuesday during which agents tried to enter the consulate of Ecuador without a warrant.
The fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti on Saturday has continued to dog the White House even as Trump travelled to a rally in Iowa to deliver remarks about the economy in the hopes of bolstering Republicans before the midterm elections in November.
No names yet.
WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES
Hey now. That would interfere with them living productive lives as ice agents one town over in a few weeks.
On leave ≠ in prison
On leave = paid vacation
Same as cops. It’s all just one big circle jerk so that us plebs think there will be justice when, in fact, there never will be.
Especially when most police ‘leave’ is paid admin leave. Ie vacation.
To be fair, prison is for after sentencing. Jail is for before sentencing.
Lmfao I’m quite confident he can’t even spell “de-escalate”. Not to mention, de-escalation is completely counter to what his and the regime’s goals are, at large.
I would agree. Hell he couldn’t remember the word for Alzheimer’s either.
He repeats things people have said recently. Walz must have said you need to dee-eskalate a few times on the call
He will deescalate because he’s the one that escalated in the first place. Much easier to un-fuck a situation when it’s your penis.
Eh, I think it’s simpler than that. He’s just brazenly lying, and his only actual intention is to shuffle some people around to confuse and/or give (naive) people a semblance of hope, then will continue escalating.
But nothing has been deescalated he still has his shriveled penis in there.
