- ‘Does All of That Look Above Board to You?’ Fox’s Martha MacCallum Grills Border Patrol Union ...
Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum asked the head of the union representing thousands of Border Patrol employees if he felt agents did everything “above board” during the shooting of Alex Pretti last weekend. Paul Perez, president of the National Border Patrol Council, shared his thoughts on the shooting during an appearance on The Story with Martha MacCallum on Monday. “When you watch the video… and they are trying to video tape this law enforcement action — which is obviously something that is designed to make the city safer — and then that woman gets shoved into the snow and that sort of begins the explosion of tensions that end in the shooting of Alex Pretti, does all of that look above board to you?” asked McCallum. Here was Perez’s full answer: Again, when you take into account all of the factors that none of us know because we weren’t… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - JUST IN: Controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino Reassigned Out of MinneapolisCNN reported Monday that controversial Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis, where he has been overseeing operations and vehemently defending officers following the shooting death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti. Anderson Cooper broke the news Monday afternoon, saying, “Sources tell CNN that top Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino and some of his agents are expected to leave Minneapolis tomorrow,” before tossing to reporter Priscilla Alvarez. “This really is a major shift in strategy here by the Trump administration,” Alvarez began. “Recall, Gregory Bovino has been a key player in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and became, in many ways, the public face of that crackdown across cities in the country. Most recently, of course, in Minneapolis.” “We are now being told by sources that he is going to be departing Minneapolis with some of his Border Patrol agents tomorrow and going back to their respective sectors,”… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Fox News’ Jonathan Turley Calls Out Trump Admin’s ‘Unforced Error’ on Pretti ShootingFox News contributor Jonathan Turley criticized misrepresentations President Donald Trump administration made in the wake of the shooting of Alex Pretti as an “unforced error,” noting that there were multiple claims contradicted by video evidence. Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse who worked for the VA, was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents on Saturday. Shortly afterwards, multiple administration officials claimed Pretti was a “domestic terrorist” who intended to “kill” or “massacre” federal agents, and said he was “brandishing” his weapon, among other comments. Video evidence taken by several bystanders, reviewed in detail by multiple media outlets, contradicted these claims. During the incident, Pretti was only holding his cell phone, he had a permit to carry his gun, he never took the gun out, an agent found the gun in its holster and took it from Pretti before another agent began firing. Turley, a constitutional law professor, appeared on… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago

Photo by Aaron Schwartz/Sipa USA via AP Images Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) called on the Trump administration to “immediately end” ICE actions in Minneapolis following the second officer-involved shooting death in a month. Over the weekend, 37-year-old Alex Pretti was shot multiple times and killed while he was being restrained by Border Patrol officers. Renee Good, also 37, was shot four times as she attempted to drive her vehicle away from ICE agents earlier this month. Trump administration officials have called both Good and Pretti “domestic terrorists.” Fetterman stated plainly on X Monday, “Ms. Good and Mr. Pretti should still be alive. My family grieves for theirs.” “The operation in Minneapolis should stand down and immediately end,” he continued. “It has become an ungovernable and dangerous urban theatre for civilians and law enforcement that is incompatible with the American spirit.” Fetterman described himself as “a very pro-immigration Democrat,” adding, “I… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - As Tech Chiefs Woo Trump, Silicon Valley Seethes Over Minneapolis Shooting

(AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson) The U.S. Holocaust Museum on Monday called out American politicians for comparing ICE and Border Patrol raids in Minnesota to Anne Frank being captured and sent to a concentration camp by Nazis — one day after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) did exactly that. “Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish,” the museum posted on X. “Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable.” It continued, “Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.” The Washington, D.C.-based museum has 383,000 followers on X.
