President Donald Trump held a call with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Monday, following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a federal agent. The incident occurred during a protest at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Minneapolis.
Frey announced that he had spoken with Trump about the situation and expressed his concerns over the use of force by federal agents. "I have spoken with President Trump today, and I want to make it clear that we are going to work together to ensure that this doesn't happen again," Frey said in a statement.
The shooting has sparked widespread outrage and protests in Minneapolis, with many calling for an investigation into the use of force by federal agents. The incident has also raised concerns about the handling of protests by law enforcement agencies across the US.
Trump's call with Frey comes amid a broader debate over police reform and the use of force by law enforcement agencies. The President has faced criticism for his response to the shooting, with some accusing him of downplaying its severity.
In recent days, there have been reports of increased tensions between protesters and federal agents in Minneapolis, with some incidents escalating into violent confrontations. The city's mayor and local officials have called for calm and restraint, while federal authorities have maintained that they are taking all necessary steps to maintain public safety.
The incident has also drawn attention to the role of ICE facilities in protest crackdowns, with many arguing that such actions only serve to escalate tensions and fuel further unrest.

? all these long paragraphs are making it hard to read... i mean, i know it's a serious topic, but that doesn't mean the layout has to suffer 
.
. sounds good, right? but then you have the mayor saying he wants to work together to prevent something like this from happening again... which is great, i guess 
. but what's the plan?! we need more specifics here.
. it's a whole thing, and i'm not gonna even try to summarize it. just know that it needs to be addressed ASAP 
. federal agents are being accused of downplaying the severity of the shooting, which is not cool at all 
.
? that would make it way easier to read, trust me 
.
I mean, can you even imagine being caught in the middle of a protest and getting shot by a federal agent? It's like, total chaos! 
And now everyone's talking about police reform and using force by law enforcement agencies... it's like, we gotta get our acts together already! 
. We need to know what's going on behind closed doors and how we can work together to prevent this from happening again. Can't we all just get along? 
- maybe we could have a national conversation about police reform and how we can make sure everyone feels safe and heard? 
. I'm all for people expressing themselves and standing up for their rights, but not when it puts innocent lives at risk 
. The fact that he's downplaying the severity of the incident just makes me want to scream 
.

The way President Trump is handling this situation is super concerning... I mean, it's like he's trying to avoid taking responsibility for what happened. The fact that the Mayor of Minneapolis had to call him about it already says a lot. And Frey's statement about working together sounds like just an attempt to placate everyone involved. Meanwhile, we have protests happening all over the country and no one's really talking about the systemic issues that lead to this kind of thing in the first place. 
i'm so worried about those protesters and federal agents they gotta calm down and find a way to resolve this peacefully 
i feel bad for alex pretti's family too, it's just not fair that he got shot like that 
i saw on twitter that trumps said something about taking care of the country but what about taking care of the people 
. President Trump's call with Mayor Frey seems like a PR stunt to me, trying to shift the focus away from his own administration's role in this whole mess. I mean, have you seen the state of ICE facilities lately? It's like they're designed for maximum chaos 
. And now they're using federal agents to crack down on protests? That just reeks of a conspiracy to silence dissenting voices 
.
. There's definitely more to this story than meets the eye...
. The fact that Frey is trying to work with Trump on reform is great, but it's also kinda too little, too late 
. I'm not sure what else can be done at this point, but we need some real change ASAP 
I mean, don't get me wrong, the situation in Minneapolis seems super serious and all, but can we talk about how much things have changed since Trump became president? Like, back in '16, there was no way he'd be making a call with the mayor about some police shooting. It's wild to think that 9 years ago, people were just as upset about cops using force on civilians... I guess time doesn't change everything, sadly 
I don't get why we can't have peaceful protests without law enforcement having to step in all the time. It's just common sense 
And what really gets me is that the President is more concerned about being seen as "working together" than actually doing something about the systemic issues that led to this incident 
? anyway, frey's call with trump is a start i guess... now let's see if he actually makes some real changes 
... I mean, who calls a mayor after something like this happens? It's just tone-deaf 
... We need real change, not just empty words from the President 
... I'm not saying Trump is to blame or anything, but come on, guys, can't we all just talk about this and find some common ground? 
. And Trump calling the mayor to calm things down? Like, he's the one who started all this drama 
. The fact that ICE facilities are being used as a excuse for violent crackdowns is just ridiculous 
this is so sad... a life lost over something that can be resolved without violence
