Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. Officials in Minnesota are calling on President Trump to remove federal immigration agents from the state after a Border Patrol officer fatally shot a man during federal enforcement operation in Minneapolis. Alex Preddy, a 37 year old ICU nurse, was killed on Saturday, the second such deadly incident this month involving federal agents in the city. Border Patrol commander at large Greg Bevino addressed the agent's response during an interview with CNN this morning.

What happened leading up to this situation? The suspect decided to inject himself into a law enforcement action. What's not being said here is the fact that Border Patrol agents and law enforcement were conducting a targeted law enforcement effort against a violent illegal alien that was nearby.

The Democratic National Committee says it will spend millions of dollars to register voters ahead of this year's midterm elections. Ben Giles reports from member station KJZZ that the DNC will begin its effort in the Southwest.

DNC Chair Ken Martin says the investment is part of efforts to get the party more involved in voter registration. In the past, he says, Democrats have relied on nonpartisan groups barred from discussing the party's candidates or core values. Directly involving party leaders from the national to local level will allow volunteers to better connect with voters that Martin says Democrats have taken for granted.
