Dan Balz: “President Donald Trump’s partial retreat on immigration enforcement in Minneapolis is a mess of his own making. His approach to immigration long has been one of denigration, bluster and extravagant promises. But heavy-handed tactics and two killings in Minnesota have generated a predictable public backlash. What next for the president?”
“The killing of Alex Pretti on Saturday, coming just two weeks after the shooting death of Renée Good, represents a crisis moment for Trump’s immigration policy. The tentative steps he has taken to de-escalate may offer him some breathing room. But will he learn from the mistakes that have brought him to this moment? History suggests no, because it would require a fundamental rethinking of his immigration policy.”
