Trump's Minneapolis Mess: When Even Allies Panicked

The situation in Minneapolis was spiraling out of control. A U. S. citizen, Alex Pretti, was killed by immigration agents. The government claimed he was a threat. But videos showed a different story. Pretti was unarmed and pinned down when agents shot him. This sparked protests and outrage nationwide. Even Trump's supporters were worried. They saw the growing anger and wanted changes. They urged the president to send in Tom Homan, the White House border czar. Fox News, a channel Trump often watches, backed this idea. The host of "Fox & Friends" mentioned it multiple times.Trump listened. He announced Homan's deployment to Minneapolis. This move showed Trump was losing grip on the situation. It was a big political risk for his second term. Gregory Bovino, the official in charge of operations, was replaced. Trump admitted Bovino's aggressive style might not have been suitable. This was unusual. Trump rarely backed down from his tough immigration policies. The change was more about appearances than policy. It was a rare moment where Trump tried to soften the image of his administration's harsh actions. But it didn't mean a shift in his policies.
