WATCH LIVE: Leavitt holds press briefing

.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is holding a press briefing at 1:00 p.m. on Monday.

The press conference will be the White House‘s first briefing since Alex Pretti, 37, a Veterans Affairs hospital nurse, was shot and killed by a border patrol agent on Saturday in Minneapolis.

Leavitt is likely to face questions about the escalating tensions in Minneapolis, as the Trump administration sends in border czar Tom Homan to report back to the president about the situation on the ground.

The White House could also face questions about what is next for the Trump administration in terms of bringing peace to Gaza, now that all of the 251 living and fallen hostages taken by Hamas have been returned to Israel.
