The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal both dissected video of border patrol officers gunning down Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti , and both analyses found that the footage appears to contradict the Trump administration’s contention that the officers fired in self-defense. Shortly after the shooting Saturday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Pretti a “domestic terrorist” who “brandished” a weapon and intended to “kill law enforcement.” Widely-circulated video showed Pretti using a phone to record the border patrol officers’ actions when he was sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, and shot multiple times. “The footage seems to contradict the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the event, which the agency said began after the victim approached the federal agents with a handgun and the intent to ‘massacre’ them,” The Times wrote in its report. The Times broke down the video frame by frame. Some of the key… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - ‘Pro Tip’: Tim Walz Tells Pam Bondi to ‘Work On’ the Epstein Files, Rather Than Focus on Min...
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) offered Attorney General Pam Bondi a “pro tip” on Sunday: she should “work on” releasing the files tied to dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein more and spend less time focusing on the fraud allegations that have rocked Walz’s state over the last month. The governor shared his advice for Bondi during a press conference on Sunday afternoon. He was asked about the letter that President Donald Trump’s Justice Department sent him on Saturday, in which Bondi ripped Walz’s state for being a safe haven for illegal immigrants and a hotbed for fraud schemes. Walz shot back on Sunday, saying the DOJ was “lying” in its letter about several things, including its claim that Minnesota police are not turning over violent illegal immigrants to federal immigration authorities. He also said his state was being targeted for political purposes, not for the $9 billion “industrial-scale”… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Fox News’s Peter Doocy Confronts Kristi Noem: ‘Is It the Protocol To Use Deadly Force’ if Alex...Fox News’s Peter Doocy interviewed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Sunday from FEMA’s National Response Coordination Center in the midst of the massive winter storm blanketing the country, and the shooting death of protester Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. After Pretti was shot and killed by border patrol officers Saturday, Noem claimed without evidence that Pretti intended to “kill law enforcement” officers and that agents “fired defensive shots” to protect themselves. Widely-circulated video showed no evidence of Pretti “brandishing” a weapon as Noem claimed, before he was shot multiple times. “So, you said last night, ‘It looks like a situation where an individual arrived on the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement,'” Doocy said. “Did he say, ‘I’m gonna kill you,’ or did he leave a note? How do you know that was his intent?” “Part of this investigation will be hearing from… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Obama Bashes Trump’s ‘Cruel’ and ‘Lawless’ Immigration Raids After Alex Pretti Shooting: â...
(AP Photo/Erin Hooley, File) President Barack Obama slammed President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration as “embarrassing, lawless and cruel” and said it has “resulted in the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens” in a statement posted on Sunday, one day after Border Patrol agents shot and killed protester Alex Pretti. Obama said the shooting of Pretti was a “heartbreaking tragedy” that should also serve as a ‘wake-up call to every American.” He said it proved America’s “core values” are “increasingly under assault” under Trump’s leadership, and that Trump’s use of ICE and Border Patrol agents in Minnesota has gone off the rails. “For weeks now, people across the country have been rightly outraged by the spectacle of masked ICE recruits and other federal agents acting with impunity and engaging in tactics that seem designed to intimidate, harass, provoke, and endanger the residents of a major American city,” Obama said. The… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Secret Tapes Reveal Ted Cruz Bashed JD Vance and Warned Trump of ‘Bloodbath’ Midterms — And th...
AP Photo/Mariam Zuhaib Secret recordings obtained by Axios show Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) criticizing both President Donald Trump’s tariff strategy as well as Vice President JD Vance to Republican donors. The recordings — according to a report from Axios on Sunday — are from mid-2025, soon after Trump unveiled his “Liberation Day” tariff plan in early April. Cruz is heard telling donors in one record that he had a lengthy late-night call with Trump and other senators where they “urged him to stand down” on his tariffs. That call “did not go well,” Cruz told the donors, with the president “yelling” and “cursing” at the GOP lawmakers. “Trump was in a bad mood,” Cruz said. He told the donors that he said to Trump: Mr. President, if we get to November of [2026] and people’s 401(k)s are down 30% and prices are up 10-20% at the supermarket, we’re going to… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Believe Your Eyes
