Chris Madel, a Republican candidate running for Minnesota governor, announced on Monday that he is withdrawing his election bid, saying in a video on social media that he "cannot support the national Republican-stated retribution" on residents of Minnesota.

Madel blasted current ICE actions in the state -- specifically calling out the fear ICE operations have inflicted on U.S. citizens in Minnesota while also calling Operation Metro Surge an "unmitigated disaster."

His announcement came following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a Customs and Border Protection agent on Saturday, although he did not mention Pretti by name.

Madel, who has never held elected office, joined a crowded GOP gubernatorial race in December 2025. He said that all the money raised for his campaign with be refunded to supporters who donated.

President Donald Trump said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called him to request that the two work together to find a solution to ICE operations and the chaos in Minnesota, with Trump calling it a "very good call."

"Governor Tim Walz called me with the request to work together with respect to Minnesota. It was a very good call, and we, actually, seemed to be on a similar wavelength," Trump said in a post on social media.

Trump said that he would have border czar Tom Homan call Walz and that the administration is looking for "any and all Criminals that they have in their possession."

A spokesperson from Walz's office confirmed that the governor had a "productive" phone call with Trump earlier Monday.

According to the spokesperson, Trump "agreed to look into reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota" and working with the state in a more coordinated way.

The spokesperson also said the president agreed to talking with Homeland Security about ensuring the state is able to conduct an independent investigation into the recent shootings in Minneapolis involving federal agents.

Former Vice President Mike Pence called for a "full and transparent investigation" into the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.

"The images of this incident are deeply troubling and a full and transparent investigation of this officer involved shooting must take place immediately," Pence said in a post on X on Monday.

He added that Americans "deserve to have safe streets, our laws enforced and our constitutional rights of Freedom of Speech, peaceable assembly and the right to keep and bear Arms respected and preserved all at the same time."

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner has issued its public data form on the death of Renee Good, ruling the manner of death a homicide.

The medical examiner also disclosed in the document dated Monday that the cause of Good's injuries was "multiple gunshot wounds" that occurred as the “deceased was shot by a law enforcement officer" in Minneapolis on January 7.
