From New York Times, I'm Michael Bavarro. This is the Daily.

Today, the story of how the fallout from Alex Pready's death forced President Trump to change course in Minneapolis,

and the debate over whether those changes are real or merely symbolic.

I spoke with White House reporters Zolan Cano Yoms and Tyler Pager.

It's Wednesday, January 28th.

Zolan and Tyler, we are having this conversation with you on Tuesday afternoon at this moment when President Trump has clearly decided to try to telegraph that he wants to change course,

or at least change the tone around his administration's immigration crackdown in Minneapolis,

following the killing of Alex Preti and all of the outrage it inspired.

And we're going to talk about how meaningful or superficial that change really is.

But, Tyler, let's first talk through what's actually happened behind the scenes in the days since Pretti's death.

So, Michael, one of the interesting things just about this weekend is that it's one of the rare

weekends in the winter where Donald Trump is in Washington and not in Palm Beach, Florida,

at his club and residence Mar-a-Lago.

And the reason that Trump stayed in Washington was because he was hosting a special premiere at the White House for the new documentary about his wife, Melania.

Right.

And so the president is spending a lot of the weekend in the Oval Office and in the dining room off the Oval Office watching media coverage of what's going on in Minneapolis and the shooting of Alex

Prattie. He spent a lot of the time watching Fox News, but flips around channels.

Another American citizen has been shot dead by federal agents in Minneapolis.

The Trump administration is defending the agent's actions.

And just saw this cacophony of voices criticizing the response and the killing of this man in Minneapolis.

It should freak the American public out that the Trump administration lies this easily.

We'll lie to your face when you can see the evidence for yourself.
