Another American citizen has been shot and killed by US immigration officers in Minneapolis as protests against ICE and border patrol intensify across the nation. Thirty-seven-year-old Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse who treated veterans. Meanwhile in Washington, Democrats are threatening to pull out of the government funding deal reached last week because of the money earmarked for expanding immigration enforcement. If they do so, that would trigger another government shutdown. Has the country reached an inflection point? USA TODAY Breaking News Reporter Christopher Cann joins The Excerpt to break down all the new developments.
