Apple CEO Tim Cook has sent his staff a personal memo following a backlash after he attended a VIP party with Donald and Melania Trump at the White House.
Cook, 65, went to a private premiere of the Melania documentary on Saturday night, just hours after the brutal death of ICU nurse Alex Pretti, who was shot dead by a federal agent in Minnesota.
The 79-year-old president said on Tuesday his administration was “going to deescalate a little bit” the situation in Minneapolis, where over 3,000 ICE and Border Patrol agents have been sent in a deliberately provocative anti-migrant surge.
Pretti, 37, was the second Minneapolis resident fatally shot by federal agents in the city this month after the killing of mother-of-three Renee Good, also 37, on Jan. 7.

Internal Slack logs shared with The Intercept show outrage over Cook’s coziness with Trump and Apple’s silence on Pretti’s death.
