Former NBA<\/a> star Isaiah Thomas was furious over the Border Patrol-involved shooting of a Minnesota man on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Alex J. Pretti was identified as the 37-year-old<\/a> Minneapolis man who was shot and killed after he allegedly confronted officers during a Department of Homeland Security operation in the southern part of the city.<\/p>\n

Thomas was among those who criticized federal officials. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials didn\u2019t appear to be involved in the shooting.<\/p>\n

“6 guys beating the s— outta ONE person then KILLING him!! F— the ICE agents. 6 against one and yall still shoot and kill somebody. Yall had him out numbered and decided to KILL him like it was a video game and he can just he his life back smh,” he wrote on X.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Timberwolves\u2019 game against the Golden State Warriors<\/a> was postponed in reaction to the incident.<\/p>\n

Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino said at a news conference that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) law enforcement officers were conducting<\/a> an operation early Saturday targeting Jose Huerta-Chuma, an illegal immigrant with a criminal history including domestic assault to intentional conflict bodily harm, disorderly conduct and driving without a valid license.<\/p>\n

Pretti allegedly approached Border Patrol agents while armed with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun and two magazines during the operation, according to DHS.<\/p>\n

State officials said Pretti had a lawful Permit to Carry (PTC).<\/p>\n

The officer involved in the shooting, according to Bovino, was “highly trained” and had been serving as a Border Patrol agent for eight years.<\/p>\n

DHS is leading the investigation into the shooting, with assistance from the FBI.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a> responded to the shooting on Truth Social, questioning why local police were not assisting during the confrontation.<\/p>\n

“This is the gunman\u2019s gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go\u2013What is that all about?” the president wrote in part. “Where are the local Police? Why weren\u2019t they allowed to protect ICE Officers? The Mayor and the Governor called them off? It is stated that many of these Police were not allowed to do their job, that ICE had to protect themselves\u2014Not an easy thing to do!”<\/p>\n
