Minnesota-based CEOs, including Fortune 500 bosses, call for ‘immediate de-escalation of tensions’ after fatal shooting

Minnesota’s business community has been largely silent amid President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in the state despite widespread backlash, but the latest shooting death by federal agents spurred a plea for peace.

In an open letter Sunday from the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, more than 60 CEOs said the business community has been working behind the scenes with officials for several weeks. That includes Gov. Tim Walz, the White House, Vice President JD Vance, and local mayors.
