The White House on Monday addressed the second shooting by anti-immigrant agents in Minneapolis city in Minnesota, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt expressing regret while simultaneously criticising Democrats. While claiming president Donald Trump doesn't want violence, the administration quickly shifted blame to Democratic leaders for resisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in their city.
Leavitt acknowledged the death of Alex Pretti as tragic but quickly pivoted to political criticism. "Nobody in the White House, including President Trump, wants to see people getting hurt or killed in America's streets," she said. "We mourn for the parents. As a mother myself, of course, I cannot imagine the loss of life," she added.
