Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced Saturday that plans were already underway to hold ICE and immigration agents criminally “responsible” for their actions following the deadly shooting earlier that morning.

In Minneapolis, 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti was shot and killed by federal immigration officers after being wrestled to the ground and beaten. Video of the shooting spread wildly on social media and has sparked outrage across the nation.

Chad Wolf, who briefly served as acting Homeland Security secretary under the first Trump administration, took to Newsmax Saturday to allege, without evidence, that the man fatally shot by federal immigration officers in Minnesota Saturday was “looking for trouble.”

In Minneapolis, federal officers wrestled, beat and ultimately shot 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, with the incident captured on video by a bystander. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara confirmed their age, that they were a white male, and that they were believed to be “an American citizen.”

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) voiced her support Saturday for President Donald Trump deploying the National Guard to Minnesota to quash the civil unrest sparked by the latest federal immigration officer-involved shooting in Minneapolis.

At least seven federal officers were captured on video Saturday wrestling a man to the ground before shooting him several times. The individual was soon pronounced dead, with the incident sparking outrage among local residents, many of whom clashed with law enforcement at the scene of the incident.

A video of what’s been reported to be a fatal federal agent-involved shooting in Minnesota spread wildly on social media Saturday, prompting state leaders to demand Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents leave the North Star State immediately.

In the video, which appears to have been recorded by a bystander from inside a nearby building, at least seven federal law-enforcement officers are seen wrestling an individual to the ground. One officer appears to strike the person with what looks like a firearm shortly before several shots are fired in the individual’s direction.

According to journalist and author Garrett Graff, critics of Greg Bovino, the chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, are making the wrong complaint when they call the abrasive DHS official a Nazi.

A comparison to one of the founders of the Ku Klux Klan is closer to the mark, he told MS NOW’s Ali Velshi on Saturday morning.

During an appearance on MS NOW’s “The Weekend,’ Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) concluded his observations about former special counsel Jack Smith’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee earlier this week by noting remarks Smith made about Donald Trump’s threats.

According to Goldman he fully expects to hear more from Smith about Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election by inciting a riot at the Capitol.“I can assure you that he will not be afraid or intimidated to come back and to speak about his work during the deposition that we had in closed door,” he told co-host Jackie Alemany

Former CNN host and journalist Don Lemon is under fire from right-wing circles for his coverage and alleged involvement in an anti-ICE protest that disrupted a church service in Minnesota, and on Saturday, conservative radio host Melanie Collette insisted that Lemon must “pay” for having "interrupted God’s people.”

Protesters disrupted a Minnesota church service last weekend accusing its pastor, David Easterwood, of working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement amid increased ICE activity in the state. Lemon covered the incident by interviewing demonstrators and accompanying them into the church.

President Donald Trump and his Republican acolytes are gearing up to try to provoke a "race war" over his Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, veteran Democratic strategist James Carville warned MS NOW's Ari Melber on Friday evening.

And the key moment he's going to try to do it, Carville argued, is during the "convention" Republicans are arranging in Minneapolis this summer, an unusual move outside of a presidential year that Trump is hoping can juice his flagging numbers ahead of the midterms.

A live interview on CNN took an uncomfortable turn Friday when anchor Jake Tapper challenged a Minnesota bookstore owner for insisting that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were using “concentration camps” to house detainees.

The moment unfolded during a segment on Tapper’s show, “The Lead,” featuring a co-owner of Moon Palace Books, an independent bookstore in Minneapolis, participating in a one-day economic “blackout” aimed at protesting ICE. Co-owner Jamie Schwesnedl appeared on the show to explain why he and his wife decided to close their store in solidarity with other businesses. But things quickly got off to a rocky start.

The Trump administration has lied about the death of Renee Nicole Good at the hands of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis, former prosecutor Kristy Greenberg stated on the latest episode of her "Courtside" web show — and a key new piece of evidence drives this point home.

"A Minnesota FBI agent did his job," said Greenberg. "He reviewed the evidence of ICE officer Jonathan Ross' shooting of Renee Good and said this should be investigated. DOJ leaders didn't do their jobs. They shut the FBI down. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche basically said, 'We all saw what happened. It was self-defense. Case closed.' But here's the problem. New evidence keeps coming to light. New videos, an autopsy report, 911 calls, eyewitness accounts, and Trump officials are telling conflicting stories about what happened. When the government can't keep its story straight, that's not a reason to stop investigating."
