Melania Trump issued a rare public statement following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minnesota, calling for calm and unity during a time of growing national tension. Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and military veteran, died during an enforcement operation that has since drawn widespread attention and public concern.
Video footage circulating online appeared to contradict early official statements, prompting protests and renewed scrutiny of federal law enforcement practices. While initial reports suggested Pretti posed a threat, later accounts indicated his firearm remained holstered. The incident quickly became a focal point of debate, especially in Minneapolis, where demonstrations called for accountability and transparency.
