Trump Suggests He Will ‘De-Escalate’ in Minneapolis

“President Trump said on Tuesday that ‘we’re going to de-escalate a little bit’ when it comes to his immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, the latest indication that the mounting backlash to the fatal shooting of a protester Saturday had prompted him to try to shift perceptions of the administration’s approach,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Trump did not specify what tactics being used by federal immigration agents would change, if any. And he continued to blame Alex Pretti, the intensive care unit nurse shot by Border Patrol agents, for legally carrying a gun with a permit — comments that risked angering gun rights supporters in his base.”
