Monday, January 26 — The world is watching Minnesota after Border Patrol shot and killed 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti in South Minneapolis. We break down what federal officials say happened, why videos from the scene and sworn witness declarations directly contradict those claims, and where multiple investigations now stand.

Plus, President Donald Trump and Governor Tim Walz speak by phone as Minnesota presses for independent investigations and a reduction in federal agents. We take you inside federal court, where Attorney General Keith Ellison argues to end “Operation Metro Surge,” and why a judge zeroed in on demands from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, including requests for voter data and changes to state policy.

We also cover a separate court order barring DHS from destroying evidence, allegations that state investigators were blocked from the scene, and new developments in hearings happening today.

And we remember the life of Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA, described as compassionate, selfless, and devoted to veterans, as vigils grow, a memorial fills 26th and Nicollet, and Minnesotans show up to grieve together.
