On January 24, 2026, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz demanded that President Trump remove federal immigration agents from Minnesota after the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis during a U.S. enforcement operation. Walz called the presence of federal agents a “federal occupation,” activated the National Guard, and demanded a state-led investigation into the shooting, which witnesses and video have said contradict federal accounts. The killing sparked large protests and clashes with law enforcement, including use of tear gas, and intensified partisan debate after the White House defended the agents. Walz urged federal withdrawal to restore local trust and safety. (theguardian.com)

Senate Democrats are threatening a Schumer-led shutdown by opposing a DHS funding package that includes ICE, raising the odds of a partial government shutdown if a stopgap or appropriations bill isn’t passed by Jan. 31. Several Democratic senators— including Catherine Cortez Masto, Jacky Rosen and Tim Kaine— have announced opposition, demanding reforms to ICE such as warrants for arrests and limits on mask use by agents, even though ICE has reserve funds from a 2025 omnibus. Critics warn that lapses in DHS funding could pause FEMA grants and Coast Guard operations, imperiling disaster response and local emergency services nationwide. (axios.com)
