Barack Obama – (Web Desk) – Former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have strongly condemned the recent killings of two American citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. Both were 37 years old, and their deaths occurred within three weeks of each other, sparking national outrage. Videos circulating online suggest Pretti was unarmed when shot, contradicting the Trump administration’s claims that he posed a threat.
Trump blamed local Democratic leaders, calling the incidents the result of “Democrat-run chaos,” while administration officials defended the agents’ actions. In contrast, Obama and Clinton urged Americans to recognize these tragedies as a warning that core national values are under threat. Clinton highlighted that peaceful protesters have faced arrests, teargas, and now lethal force, emphasizing the need for citizens to “stand up and speak out.”
Protests erupted in Minneapolis, with demonstrators criticizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and holding signs honoring the victims. Minnesota officials, including Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, questioned the federal presence and criticized the exclusion of local authorities from investigations. Business leaders also called for de-escalation and collaboration between agencies.
