Democrats secured victories in two special elections for the State House on Tuesday, as the state reels from controversy over and federal immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n

Democrats Shelley Buck and Meg Luger-Nikolai won special elections for Districts 47A and 64A. Their victories mean the GOP and Democrats are now tied for seats in the Minnesota State House<\/a> at 67-67.<\/p>\n

Luger-Nikolai won her race with 95% of the vote, while Buck ran uncontested.<\/p>\n

The State House is currently operating under a power-sharing agreement between Republicans and Democrats. The House Speaker is still Republican Lisa DeMuth, but most committees will have co-chairs from both parties.<\/p>\n

The elections came just days after federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti<\/a> in Minneapolis on Saturday. Pretti is the second U.S. citizen to be killed by federal agents in Minneapolis this month.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a>‘s administration issued a report on the timeline of the shooting to Congress on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Border Patrol agents and Customs and Border Protection officers were active in Minneapolis Saturday morning as part of Operation Metro Surge.<\/p>\n

Officials said Border Patrol agents tried to take Pretti into custody, but he “resisted,” and a struggle ensued.<\/p>\n

During the struggle, an unidentified Border Patrol agent yelled, “He’s got a gun!” multiple times, according to the report.<\/p>\n

About five seconds later, the two federal agents opened fire.<\/p>\n

After the shooting, a Border Patrol agent confirmed he had Pretti’s gun and subsequently “cleared and secured” the gun in his vehicle, according to the report.<\/p>\n

The shooting triggered Trump to shake up federal leadership in Minnesota, sending White House Border Czar Tom Homan<\/a> to Minneapolis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The White House insists that there is no change in strategy in Minnesota, however, and they are not “backing down” from immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n

“Tom Homan is a patriot with decades of experience effectively protecting American communities and deporting criminal illegal aliens,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“Any left-wing agitator or criminal illegal alien who thinks Tom\u2019s presence is a victory for their cause is sadly mistaken,” Jackson continued. “The Trump Administration will never waver in standing up for law and order and protecting the American people.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the change to bring in Homan, Trump has rejected calls to fire Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem<\/a>,\u00a0<\/p>\n
