Appearing on MS NOW Tuesday to discuss blocking ICE funding after the shooting of 37-year-olds Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis, Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) told the dumbfounded hosts of “Morning Joe” that some of her Republican Senate colleagues have admitted they have not seen the multiple Pretti videos.

With host Joe Scarborough noting that over 10 GOP senators have already gone on the record calling for an investigation of the Saturday killing and the Department of Homeland Security, he asked the Illinois Democrat what she is hearing from her Republican colleagues.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper threw the Trump administration's own words back at them on Monday in a devastating takedown over a comment made following the killing of an ICU nurse at a protest in Minneapolis over the weekend.

Cooper discussed the Trump administration's justifications for the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday. Pretti, 37, attended a protest of Trump's immigration tactics when he was swarmed by federal officers and shot at least 10 times, according to reports. Pretti's death was the second high-profile killing caused by federal agents in Minneapolis over the last month.

After weeks of mounting tensions, protests, and a brutal Department of Homeland Security crackdown on Minneapolis that has left multiple people dead, President Donald Trump's controversial Border Patrol enforcer Greg Bovino is reportedly being ousted from his job.

But don't expect personnel changes to send a meaningful message to Border Patrol or Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that they should stop using their current heavy-handed tactics, former prosecutor Andrew Weissmann warned MS NOW's Ari Melber on Monday.

One of President Donald Trump's closest allies flipped out on Monday after the president did another U-turn on the situation in Minneapolis.

Steve Bannon, a former White House advisor, said on his "War Room" podcast on Monday that Trump "blinked" in Minneapolis after the president and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, had "a very good call." Trump announced on Truth Social that he and Walz discussed how to work together on immigration operations in the state, and that the two leaders seemed to be "on a similar wavelength."

CNN aired a damning montage on Monday afternoon that laid waste to a narrative President Donald Trump's administration has woven about the killing of a nurse in Minneapolis over the weekend.

On Saturday, ICU nurse Alex Pretti was gunned down by a swarm of immigration agents. Pretti intervened after an agent forcibly shoved a woman to the ground. Videos captured by eyewitnesses showed agents swarming Pretti, disarming him, and then taking him to the ground before firing at him. About 10 bullets were shot at Pretti, who died at the scene, according to reports.

The Department of Justice may have suffered a major setback in a hearing on Monday morning, as lawyers for the Donald Trump administration opposed a motion seeking a temporary restraining order that would severely curtail ICE activities in Minnesota.

According to MS NOW’s Lisa Rubin, U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez gave every indication that she might not rule entirely the way the state of Minnesota seeks.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt refused to defend aide Stephen Miller after he described Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse gunned down by Border Patrol, as an "assassin" who "tried to murder federal agents."

During Monday's White House briefing, one reporter noted that the Department of Homeland Security had accused Pretti of wanting to do "maximum damage" and "massacre law enforcement."

FBI Director Kah Patel reversed course after receiving backlash over his assertion that it was illegal to bring a firearm to a protest.

On Sunday, Patel responded to a DHS officer killing Alex Pretti by suggesting the 37-year-old nurse had deserved it because he legally carried a handgun while video recording ICE and Border Patrol agents.

MAGA influencer Steve Bannon called on the Trump administration to double down after officers from the Department of Homeland Security killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, over the weekend.

"In Minneapolis is just the center of an outright revolution, highly organized, highly financed, with our enemies, the Chinese Communist Party in back of this, but Soros, many other groups, highly organized, as sophisticated as what they did against our troops in Baghdad during the insurgency there," Bannon argued on his Monday War Room program. "And during the Iraq War, this is highly sophisticated. Under no circumstances can we de-escalate. Under no circumstances can we blink."

The pro-MAGA hosts on Real America's Voice argued that Alex Pretti's death at the hands of DHS officers should prompt President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act against anti-ICE protesters.

"As you can imagine, a number of protests broke out there in Minneapolis, and it really has just been a tragic situation," co-host Terrence Bates noted on Monday. "It's about time for President Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, just to try to really get a handle on this and send a message."

President Donald Trump is sending his "border czar" to handle the fallout from another fatal shooting during a Department of Homeland Security operation in Minnesota, and CNN's Harry Enten flagged that as a sign that deeply unpopular Kristi Noem might be ousted as secretary.

A Customs and Border Patrol officer shot and killed 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti over the weekend, less than three weeks after another officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good, and Trump announced that Homan would lead the immigration crackdown in the Minneapolis area.
