Chicago Sky star Angel Reese posted "Praying for our country" on X Saturday.

Reese did not specify what she was referring to in the post. But it was sent during widespread national debate after a man was fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis Saturday. 

Reese has not often commented on political matters but did speak out after President Donald Trump won the 2024 election, expressing disappointment in the result.

"Woke up speechless….," Reese wrote in one X post, later adding, "I’m so disappointed in America….Some of you just couldn’t selfishly put your pride aside huh??!?!?" and "As a woman, I’m heartbroken for us all."

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident and ICU nurse, was shot during an immigration enforcement operation early Saturday targeting Jose Huerta-Chuma, an illegal immigrant with a criminal history including domestic assault for intentional conflict bodily harm, disorderly conduct and driving without a valid license.

Department of Homeland Security officials said Pretti approached Border Patrol agents while armed with a 9 mm pistol and "violently resisted" when they attempted to disarm him. Medics immediately delivered aid, but Pretti was pronounced dead at the site of the shooting.

After the shooting, approximately 200 agitators arrived and began to "obstruct and assault law enforcement," leading to crowd control measures, according to DHS.

The Minneapolis Police Department asked for the public to remain calm after Saturday's shooting.

"We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details. We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area. Please follow the city’s social media channels for updates," the Minneapolis Police Department said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said at a news conference that an "unlawful assembly" was taking place in the area of the shooting and urged the public to avoid it.

"Our demand today is for those federal agencies that are operating in our city to do so with the same discipline, humanity and integrity that effective law enforcement in this country demands. We urge everyone to remain peaceful," O'Hara said.

O'Hara said there had been an emergency recall of all sworn personnel back to duty to handle the situation.

While MPD is leading the charge, it is receiving help from the Minnesota State Patrol and Hennepin and Ramsey County sheriffs, O'Hara said. 

Suburban towns have aided MPD in handling the influx of 911 calls. He added that the fire department was working with police to "ensure that two small fires that were started in the area are safely extinguished." 

Tensions between federal immigration enforcement and agitators in Minnesota have been high since the fatal Jan. 7 shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent. Her death sparked a wave of protests nationwide and raised questions about the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

President Donald Trump on Saturday said he plans to skip next month's Super Bowl, slamming the halftime performers and griping that the California game is too far away.

Trump, who attended last year’s game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans, told the New York Post: "It’s just too far away. I would, I’ve [gotten] great hands [at] the Super Bowl. They like me."

This year’s Super Bowl will be held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, near San Jose.

He added, "I would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter."

The president has also been openly critical of headline performer Bad Bunny since he was chosen last year to perform at the Halftime Show.

"I don’t know who he is," Trump told Newsmax of the choice last fall. "I don’t know why they’re doing it. It’s crazy. And then they blame it on some promoter they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous."

Rock band Green Day was also selected in the last week to play before the kickoff.

Bad Bunny and Green Day’s frontman Billie Joe Armstrong are both liberal performers who have been vocal about their dislike of Trump in the past.

Bad Bunny said last fall that he decided to do his residency show in his native Puerto Rico and didn't book any U.S. dates on his tour over fears his fans would be detained by ICE agents.

"But there was the issue of, like, f---ing ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about," the Latin pop star, who has a large Latino following, told i-D.

The 31-year-old also featured a person doing a Trump impression in his song "Nuevayol," saying, "I want to apologize to the immigrants in America. . . . This country is nothing without the immigrants. This country is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans."

Armstrong has likened Trump to Hitler in the past and the band frequently changes the line "I’m not part of a redneck agenda" from their 2004 hit "American Idiot" to "I’m not part of the MAGA agenda" in more recent live performances, according to The Independent.

"I’m anti-them," Trump told the Post of the performers. "I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible."

Kendrick Lamar headlined last year’s Halftime Show and SZA, Jon Batiste, Lauren Daigle, Trombone Shorty, and Ledisi also performed.

The Super Bowl will take place on Sunday, Feb. 8 with the Seattle Seahawks-Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots-Denver Broncos championship games Sunday deciding who will play.
