Reference News, January 25 report: According to the website of Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, on January 24, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, saw another immigration enforcement shooting incident. Local police stated that a 37-year-old U.S. male citizen was shot and killed by federal law enforcement officers.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara said at a press conference that the victim was 37-year-old local resident Alex Preeti, who worked as an emergency room nurse. He was shot multiple times and died at the scene.

O'Hara said that the victim had no criminal record other than a traffic violation and had a legal permit to carry a firearm.

After the incident, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and other local officials spoke out on January 24, demanding that President Trump end the large-scale enforcement operations conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the area.

Walz wrote on the social media platform X: "This morning, federal agents once again committed a shocking shooting incident. I have spoken with the White House."

"Minnesota has had enough. This is despicable. The president must terminate this operation. Immediately withdraw thousands of violent and untrained law enforcement officers from Minnesota."

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said at a press conference: "How many residents, how many Americans, must be killed or injured before this operation ends? How many lives must be lost before this administration realizes that political and partisan issues are far less important than American values?"

Frey also said: "To President Trump: Put Minneapolis, put America first. Let us achieve peace. Let us end this operation. I tell you, our city will return to normalcy, and safety will be restored. We demand that you take immediate action and remove these federal agents."

Attorney General Barr responded firmly, stating that the Department of Justice had written to Walz, telling him, "You had better support President Trump and the law enforcement officers. Because if you don't support them, we will step forward."
