Trump Rejects ICE Victim 'Would- Be Assassin' Claim

On 28 January 2026, former U.S. President Donald Trump rejected remarks made by his adviser Stephen Miller that 37‑year‑old ICU nurse Alex Pretti was a 'would‑be assassin' after she was shot dead by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The shooting, which occurred over the weekend, followed the earlier killing of 37‑year‑old Renee Good by a separate ICE unit in the same city. Trump said he intended to 'de‑escalate' federal immigration operations in Minneapolis after talks with the city’s Democratic mayor and state governor. He also noted that Pretti had a legal handgun, arguing she should not have been carrying a gun, while criticising the controversy generated by advisers Kristi Noem and others.
