NBA Stars Join Protests After Federal Agents Kill Nurse Alex Pretti

#Minneapolis, #USA
Thousands of protesters gathered in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of nurse Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents. The Golden State Warriors defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves after the game was postponed for 24 hours to allow for security measures. Trump is considering invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy military forces as tensions rise over the deaths of Pretti and Renee Good.Steph Curry and coach Steve Kerr expressed support for the demonstrations that occurred in sub-zero temperatures across the city. Breanna Stewart also displayed a protest sign during a separate game in Florida to demand the abolition of federal immigration enforcement. Local officials have criticized the federal deployment while the Department of Homeland Security maintains that agents acted in self-defense during the confrontation.The administration has labeled some demonstrators as domestic terrorists while reviewing the circumstances of the two recent fatal shootings. Crowds at Target Center chanted slogans against federal agencies during the rescheduled professional basketball game on Sunday. Investigations into the death of Pretti continue as eyewitnesses contradict official accounts regarding whether the victim was armed or fired a weapon.
