Trump appeared to soften tone on Minnesota as crackdown continued, reporter says

President Trump appeared to soften his tone on Minnesota after seeing outrage over the killing of Alex Pretti, but the crackdown continues on the ground, White House reporter Tyler Pager says.

In a video report, Tyler Pager describes the contrast between the president’s apparent change in rhetoric and the actions being taken in Minnesota.

Pager says the shift in tone followed public outrage over the killing of Alex Pretti, suggesting a response to the reaction he observed.

Despite that apparent softening, Pager reports that enforcement and a crackdown on the ground have continued.

What is known, according to the report, is the apparent change in tone and the ongoing crackdown; it remains unclear whether the president’s remarks will lead to any change in policy or on-the-ground actions, Pager says.
