Dozens of CEOs have called for the lowering of tensions in Minneapolis, pleading for a return to normalcy in the aftermath of anti-ICE protester Alex Pretti being fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent.

The 60 business leaders called for cooperation between Mayor Jacob Frey, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), and the Trump administration. The letter was published by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and signed by the CEOs of companies and organizations such as Target, UnitedHealth Group, U.S. Bancorp, Minnesota’s professional sports teams, the Mayo Clinic, and Land O’Lakes, among others.
