Dear Ms. Cox-Smith, Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns regarding the death of Alex Pretti. As your voice in Washington, it is my responsibility to represent the citizens of North Carolina's Sixth District, and I truly appreciate your input. On January 24th, during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, federal law enforcement officers were engaged in a confrontation leading to the death of Mr. Pretti. The tragic videos coming out of Minneapolis depict a chaotic scene that never should have happened in the first place. ICE and Border Patrol have critical and dangerous jobs. Their jobs are made more dangerous by the actions and rhetoric coming directly from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. I applaud President Trump's decision to send Tom Homan to Minnesota to help end the chaos and bring accountability to the situation.
