Two agents who shot Minnesota man on leave as Trump says he will ‘de-escalate’ (www.theguardian.com)

The two agents who fatally shot a man in Minneapolis over the weekend have been placed on administrative leave, the Department of Homeland Security said on Wednesday, as Donald Trump tried to quell the backlash even while immigration raids in the city continued.

The move, which the DHS emphasized is standard protocol when agents are involved in fatal shootings, comes as the president suggested he would “de-escalate” his immigration enforcement crackdown in the state, but without offering details or whether tactics would change.

In Minnesota, meanwhile, it remained unclear whether there had been any substantial restraining of federal actions, despite Trump recently removing the border patrol commander Greg Bovino. Immigration raids have continued, including an incident on Tuesday during which agents tried to enter the consulate of Ecuador without a warrant.

The fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti on Saturday has continued to dog the White House even as Trump travelled to a rally in Iowa to deliver remarks about the economy in the hopes of bolstering Republicans before the midterm elections in November.
