Minnesota shootings spark political firestorm over ICE and DHS funding

Outrage over ICE operations grows after nurse Alex Pretti’s death, prompting calls for reforms and independent investigations.

Outrage over federal immigration enforcement has surged following the death of Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti, who was killed during a federal operation that has become a flashpoint in the national debate over use of force and civil liberties. The incident — one of several involving federal agents this month — has drawn protests, political condemnations, and calls for independent investigations from both Republicans and Democrats.

In Congress, Senate Democrats are leveraging the controversy to push for reforms to ICE and DHS funding, threatening to withhold money unless sweeping changes are made. With a possible partial government shutdown on the horizon, lawmakers face escalating pressure from activists, unions, business leaders, and constituents concerned about federal accountability and immigration policy.

We’re joined by Oz Sultan from Sultan Interactive Group to break down the stakes and what these events could mean for the future of federal enforcement and immigration reform politics.
