In Minneapolis, things are heating up. Federal agents have shot and killed two people in just one month. The latest victim was Alex Pretti, a nurse who was at a protest. These shootings are making people question the Trump administration's tough stance on immigration.
Democrats are using this as a big issue for the upcoming elections. They're saying that the government is going too far. Even some moderate Democrats, who usually don't speak out much, are joining in. They're saying that the government should not be funded if it includes money for immigration enforcement.
Republicans are mostly supporting the administration's actions. But even some of them are starting to have doubts. They're worried about the use of force and the way federal agents are acting. Some Republicans are asking for more information and accountability.
The shootings are also making people think about gun rights. The administration is blaming Pretti for having a gun at the protest. But gun rights groups are saying that people have the right to carry arms, even at protests.
Polls show that many people, including some Republicans, are worried about the administration's tactics. They think that the government should try to reduce harm, even if it means making fewer arrests.
Protesters in Minneapolis are saying that what's happening there could happen anywhere. They think that Minnesota is becoming a test case for the rest of the country.
The Trump administration is using the situation in Minnesota to criticize the state's Democratic leaders. They're saying that the governor is encouraging protests. But the governor and local law enforcement say that the federal operation is actually causing more chaos.
