Trump Issues Immigration Demands to Walz, Democratic Leaders

President Donald Trump issued five specific demands to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, all Democratic governors and mayors, and Congress on Sunday, calling on them to "formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation's Laws" following the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis.

The presidential demands represent an escalation in the conflict between the Trump administration and Democratic-led states over immigration enforcement. The directive follows the shooting death of Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse who was fatally shot on Saturday by federal agents during what the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) described as a targeted immigration operation.
