Senate Democrats Block Funding After Federal Agents Kill Nurse in Minneapolis

Senate Democrats are blocking a Department of Homeland Security funding package after federal agents fatally shot thirty-seven-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti during an immigration operation in Minneapolis, USA.While Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed the intensive care nurse brandished a handgun, witness affidavits and video footage suggest he was unarmed and pepper-sprayed before being shot twelve times.The incident has sparked a massive general strike across the Twin Cities and nationwide protests, leading Chuck Schumer to threaten a government shutdown on January 31.
