Major Minnesota business leaders on Sunday called for an “immediate deescalation of tensions” after federal immigration agents fatally shot U.S. citizen Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
More than 60 CEOs of Minnesota-based companies signed a letter urging “state, local and federal officials to work together to find real solutions.” The companies said that the recent tumult in Minnesota has caused “widespread disruption and tragic loss of life.”
Among the signatories to the letter released by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce are incoming Target
CEO Michael Fiddelke; William Brown, the chairman and CEO of 3M
; Brian Sikes, the chair and CEO of food giant Cargill; and Stephen Hemsley, the CEO of UnitedHealth
