सारांश: इस घटना ने बड़े विरोध प्रदर्शनों को जन्म दिया, जो अमेरिका के सबसे बड़े आव्रजन अभियान के खिलाफ मौजूदा प्रतिरोध में जुड़ गया। जनवरी की शुरुआत में एक समान घातक गोलीबारी के बाद सार्वजनिक आक्रोश बढ़ गया।
Federal (Adj) agencies (Sub) as well as President Trump (Sub) swiftly (Adv) defended (Past Simple) the operation (Obj), saying (Present Participle) that Pretti (Sub) was carrying (Past Continuous) a loaded (Adj) gun (Obj).

सारांश: प्रशासन और ट्रम्प ने इस कार्रवाई का बचाव किया, यह आरोप लगाते हुए कि प्रेटी सशस्त्र था और उसे घरेलू आतंकवादी बताया। हालाँकि, रिकॉर्ड बताते हैं कि वह कोई महत्वपूर्ण आपराधिक अतीत न रखने वाला कानून का पालन करने वाला नागरिक था।

सारांश: संघीय एजेंटों ने राज्य के जांचकर्ताओं को अपराध स्थल से रोका, जिससे आपातकालीन मुकदमे दायर हुए। मतदाता डेटा तक पहुंच के बदले में आव्रजन एजेंटों को वापस लेने का एक विवादास्पद प्रस्ताव त्रासदी का राजनीतिकरण करने के रूप में देखा गया।
At the root (Obj) of this crisis (Obj) is (Present Simple) Mr. Trump’s hardline (Adj) immigration (Adj) policy (Sub) and the massive (Adj) deployment (Sub) of federal (Adj) agents (Obj) to Minneapolis (Obj).

For the Trump administration (Obj), immigration (Adj) enforcement (Sub) is (Present Simple) a war (Obj) at home (Obj) rather than civil (Adj) law (Adj) enforcement (Obj). And killings (Sub) suggest (Present Simple) that this approach (Sub) is (Present Simple) gravely (Adv) counterproductive (Adj). When federal (Adj) agents (Sub) operate (Present Simple) with impunity (Obj), reject (Present Simple) local (Adj) oversight (Obj), resist (Present Simple) shared (Adj) investigation (Obj) and use (Present Simple) lethal (Adj) force (Obj), they (Sub) risk (Present Simple) undermining (Gerund) the very (Adj) rule (Obj) of law (Obj) that (Sub) they (Sub) claim (Present Simple) to uphold (Infinitive), besides (Adv) straining (Gerund) the federal-State (Adj) balance (Obj).
सारांश: प्रशासन आव्रजन प्रवर्तन को एक घरेलू युद्ध के रूप में देखता है, एक ऐसा दृष्टिकोण जो विनाशकारी साबित हुआ है। बेलगाम संघीय एजेंट जो स्थानीय प्राधिकरण को दरकिनार करते हैं और घातक बल का उपयोग करते हैं, वे कानून के शासन और संघीय-राज्य संबंधों को खतरे में डालते हैं।
Mr. Trump (Sub), who (Sub) called (Past Simple) Iranian (Adj) protesters (Obj) “patriots” (Obj) and offered (Past Simple) them (Obj) help (Obj), should (Modal Verb) show (Infinitive) at least (Adv) some (Adj) of that concern (Obj) for the American (Adj) protesters (Obj).
