The CEO of Target joined the heads of other major businesses in Minnesota to urge a “deescalation of tensions” between federal law enforcement and local officials in the state Sunday, one day after Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis.
The CEOs of more than 60 businesses in Minnesota signed the open letter from the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce on Sunday, including the leaders of Target, the Mayo Clinic, Ameriprise Financial, U.S. Bancorp, Best Buy, 3M and Ecolab.
Several Minnesota professional sports teams also signed the letter on behalf of their organizations, including the Minnesota Twins of the MLB, Minnesota Vikings of the NFL, Minnesota Wild of the NHL, Minnesota Timberwolves of the NBA and the Minnesota Lynx of the WNBA.
