Republican candidate Chris Madel says he is ending his campaign for governor of Minnesota following the shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by federal agents.

Madel said late on Monday he would step down from the campaign, citing the negative impact of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) “Operation Metro Surge” on the city of Minneapolis, where two people have been killed by federal agents.
