- Stephen Miller Concedes Agents Who Killed Alex Pretti ‘May Not Have Been Following’ Protocol
AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin Top White House aide Stephen Miller said on Tuesday that agents in Minneapolis “may not have been following” proper protocol when they shot Alex Pretti, marking a stunning shift away from administration officials’ previous statements on the shooting. “The White House provided clear guidance to DHS that the extra personnel that had been sent to Minnesota for force protection should be used for conducting fugitive operations to create a physical barrier between the arrest teams and the disruptors,” said Miller in a statement to CNN. “We are evaluating why the CBP team may not have been following that protocol.” Miller’s statement represents a change in tone on the part of President Donald Trump’s administration following the two deadly shootings of U.S. citizens in Minneapolis this month. A prominent architect of Trump’s immigration policies, Miller has faced criticism over his dubbing Pretti an “assassin” in the hours after his death.… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.14 mins ago - Man Sprays Unknown Substance at Ilhan Omar Before Being Tackled in Wild Scene
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was attacked by a man at a town hall event on Tuesday, with the interrupter spraying the congresswoman with an unknown substance. During a Minneapolis town hall, Omar called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to “resign or face impeachment” after federal officials shot and killed two citizens in the city this month. Minneapolis mother Renee Good, 37, was shot and killed by an ICE agent this month, while Alex Pretti was also shot and killed by federal officers amid a mass deployment crackdown. At the town hall, Omar was speaking when a man approached her podium and appeared to throw something before being removed from the area. “We will continue. This f**king asshole is not getting away with this,” Omar can be heard saying in the video after the man confronted her and colleagues tried removing the congresswoman from the event.

He’s just too damn sexy,” said Tyrus amid chuckles from his fellow hosts. “All eyes are on him. And that’s the problem.” Tyrus claimed the president’s perceived charisma bolstered the careers of his critics, who could gain popularity purely by attacking Trump. “You get famous battling Trump, going after– any young Democrat person who goes up and says that they’re on every channel,” said Tyrus. “Then the Republican guys come out, we can’t name them. They’re like, ‘Hey, I can’t stand Biden.’ Everyone’s like, ‘No… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago

AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s ouster on Tuesday, telling reporters that her “incompetence” in Minnesota means “she should be out of a job.” Noem has faced increased scrutiny in recent days over her claim that Alex Pretti — the 37-year-old man shot dead by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis on Saturday — committed “domestic terrorism.” Tillis was scathing in his assessment of the secretary’s performance, claiming her “amateurish” actions were hurting President Donald Trump’s image. “I think that what she’s done in Minnesota should be disqualifying. She should be out of a job,” he said. “I mean, really, it’s just amateurish. It’s making the president look bad on policies that he won on.” Sen.

Pretti was filming Border Patrol activity in public when agents approached him and a nearby woman before knocking her to the ground. Video shows the 37-year-old Pretti attempting to help the woman, but agents pepper-sprayed both of them and tackled Pretti to the ground. One of the agents can be seen removing Pretti’s holstered firearm, for which he had a permit. At no point was Pretti holding the weapon. After disarming Pretti, agents shot him 10 times. It was the second deadly shooting by immigration agents in Minneapolis this month. Renee Good, 37, was shot to death by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. On Tuesday’s edition of The Lead, Tapper interviewed Chad Mizelle, who was general counsel at the Department of Homeland Security during President Donald Trump’s… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
