The Trump administration has portrayed 37-year-old Alex Pretti as an armed threat who intended to harm federal agents during a Minneapolis protest. But video footage reviewed by The Associated Press seems to contradict some of these statements. Pretti is seen holding a phone in the video and was licensed to carry a concealed weapon, but was reportedly not brandishing one when he was shot by federal agents on Saturday. Border Patrol officials say Pretti resisted disarmament, leading to his shooting. President Donald Trump has blamed Democrats for chaos he links to immigration issues. Local officials urge calm and have questioned the administration's narrative.
