Trump's Shadow: DOJ Probes Minneapolis Shooting as Tech & Climate Collide

Minneapolis – The Department of Justice (DOJ) launched a civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis on January 24th, according to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. The incident occurred while Pretti was filming immigration officers. The investigation comes as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz accused the Trump administration of attempting to "twist reality" in the state, and as the administration plans to scale down operations in Minnesota and conduct targeted anti-immigration actions, according to White House border czar Tom Homan.

Blanche stated that the DOJ investigation would involve witness interviews, examination of evidence, and potential subpoenas. However, he did not provide a timeline for the investigation or commit to releasing body camera footage. The DOJ probe is separate from the Department of Homeland Security's internal review of the shooting.

Governor Walz's criticism of the Trump administration followed the announcement of the scaled-down immigration operations. According to Vox, Tom Homan stated that the Trump administration will conduct targeted anti-immigration actions in Minnesota.

The backdrop to these events includes broader shifts in global politics and technology. Leaders in Asia and Europe are reportedly strengthening ties, with the unstated influence of former President Trump's policies serving as a catalyst for cooperation, according to NPR. Recent agreements include a UK-China partnership focused on long-term stability, an upgraded EU-Vietnam relationship, and a comprehensive EU-India free trade accord. Time magazine reports on Uber's investment in autonomous trucking, Tesla's shift towards AI and robotics, and NASA's Artemis II launch delay.
