Stephen Miller says CBP may not have followed protocol

"I'm sorry I gave you a black eye, it won't happen again" energy.  Justice will find each and everyone involved here, eventually.  Germany had former Nazi officers on trial as recently as a few years ago.  

Just yesterday I was watching the Nuremberg trials movie good watch! Good movie and a great cast

Not much more than a string of hearsay (based on lies) + the photo of a gun on a passenger seat in a car lead to this.

(If there’s bodycam footage from one or more ICE members available it won’t help to back important details.)




I guess Trump backs Noem is a tough thing to do in the future vs the public pressure. 

And Noem did it twice, learned nothing from the Good murder. 

It looks similar bad for her, if 

she wasn’t alarmed by the scenario at this point or if she was pushed by someone (below her position) to the press conference / statement.

Everyone involved in this string of hearsay (X people > Miller > Noem) is doing the wrong job and should be fired within the next days.

Noem's defense seems to be "wtf you assholes told me what to say and I said it"

After the murder of Alex Pretti by our own government was witnessed by the public, officials could no longer spin the propaganda machine. A preliminary review by U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s internal watchdog office found that Alex Pretti was shot by two federal officers after “resisting arrest,” but did not indicate that he brandished a weapon during the encounter, according to an email sent to Congress. The review makes no mention of the Department of Homeland Security’s earlier claims that Mr. Pretti, a U.S. citizen, “wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”  

Here’s the full report to Congress shared by Camilo Montoya-Galvez, CBS News immigration reporter:

The following statement pertains to an in-custody death that occurred on Saturday, January 24, 2026, in Minneapolis, MN. This information is based on a preliminary review by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) Investigative Operations Directorate (IOD) and may be updated and clarified as additional details become available. It is being provided to Committee staff concurrently with CBP senior leadership to ensure timely reporting.

CBP OPR IOD established the following information and timeline based on a preliminary review of body worn camera footage and CBP documentation.

On January 24, 2026, United States Border Patrol (USBP) Border Patrol Agents (BPAs) and Customs and Border Protection Officers (CBPOs) supporting Operation Metro Surge were conducting enforcement actions near the intersection of Nicollet Ave. and 26th St. in Minneapolis, MN. Several civilians were in the area yelling and blowing whistles. BPAs and CBPOs made several verbal requests for the civilians to stay on the sidewalks and out of the roadway.

At approximately 9:00 a.m., a CBPO was confronted by two female civilians blowing whistles. The CBPO ordered the female civilians to move out of the roadway, and the female civilians did not move. The CBPO pushed them both away and one of the females ran to a male, later identified as 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a US citizen. The CBPO attempted to move the woman and Pretti out of the roadway. The woman and Pretti did not move. The CBPO deployed his oleoresin capsicum (OC) spray towards both Pretti and the woman.

CBP personnel attempted to take Pretti into custody. Pretti resisted CBP personnel's efforts and a struggle ensued. During the struggle, a BPA yelled, "He's got a gun!" multiple times.  Approximately five seconds later, a BPA discharged his CBP-issued Glock 19 and a CBPO also discharged his CBP-issued Glock 47 at Pretti. After the shooting, a BPA advised he had possession of Pretti's firearm. The BPA subsequently cleared and secured Pretti's firearm in his vehicle.

At approximately 9:02 a.m., CBP personnel cut Pretti's clothing and provided medical aid to him by placing chest seals on his wounds. At approximately 9:05 a.m., Minneapolis Fire Department Emergency Medical Services (MFD EMS) emergency medical technicians (EMTs) arrived and assumed primary medical care for Pretti.

At approximately 9:14 a.m., MFD EMTs placed Pretti in an MFD EMS ambulance and he was subsequently transported to Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC). At approximately 9:32 a.m., HCMC medical personnel pronounced Pretti deceased.

CBP OPR IOD was advised that an autopsy would be conducted by medical personnel from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office. CBP OPR IOD will request the official findings upon completion.

Homeland Security Investigations is investigating the incident and CBP OPR IOD is reviewing it. The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General was notified.

Now let’s review what this statement is basically saying that according to the government’s own preliminary report to Congress, federal agents shot Alex Pretti during an attempted arrest after he resisted and while an agent shouted “He’s got a gun.” However, the report does not present evidence in the letter that Pretti ever brandished that gun before he was shot, and in fact one agent secured the firearm at the scene before Alex was shot. Alex Pretti legally carried firearm, exercising rights protected under state and federal law. That firearm was taken and secured by an agent during the struggle before the shots that killed him were fired. Neither resisting arrest nor legally carrying a firearm are lawful justifications for the government to execute a U.S. citizen. Meaning Alex was murdered/ executed by our own government.

It seems like an impossible move for Trump to fire Noem but no one else to manage / solve the situation. 
There is not much room left: Either he’s on the side of the entire string of people or he has to fire the whole bunch.

The only way the crispy gnome gets fired is if she says publicly something negative about her orange overlord.

A calculation that she’s “safer” on the inside, knowing what she knows, than on the outside having been cast aside and out. Hell hath no fury like a woman who shoots dogs in the face and stared down Little Rocket Man scorned.

I'm not picturing a "firing"....I think she will get a "promotion" and be an ambassador or something.

Tim Simmons

Yeah, a change of role is most likely.

I forsee ANOTHER DISTRACTION with the bomb or a bombing in Iran. It's the orange 🍊 genius classic move when he's up against opposition or more deflection from the Epstien files. If there's a hell he's going to fry in it.

9:01:14 a.m. -- First shot is fired

? Does anyone know when the press conference with Noem started?

Edit: it wasn’t a total rush a.m. 

 “Good evening”

Edit 2: And the time to Miller’s Minneapolis shooting tweet ?!

Miller’s statement was an answer.

remember when stewart used his first show back to shit all over biden and say that he needed to be replaced on the ticket?

yeah i am NEVER forgiving him for that.

He was right.

If it had happened sooner, I might very well agree. So what I'm wondering is, how far into the campaign did Stewart make that statement?

I don't know if it matters, ultimately. They fucked up in every way. They started the fuck up when they conspired to hide Biden's mental health status. Then they fucked up by putting him on the ticket, then they fucked up by keeping him there as long as they did. They should have just run Harris from the start. That would have been the only thing that would have saved us all from Trump.

What an amazing, brave woman.

Her words are so positive and hopeful.  I hope a lot of people will take the time to watch this.  Thanks for putting it up!

Yes, excellent points.  I do think Harris could very well have won if she had been nominated from the get-go.  Now, instead, we live with these terrible, overwhelming consequences.

I'm not convinced timing would have mattered either. The trump-aganda machine was just too big this time around.

Hard to say, although having only 107 days to campaign (which is a lot for some other countries but quite a brief campaign here in the U.S.), she made quite a good showing.  Of course, we'll never know. For now, we're stuck with fascism.

Thank you, Bruce!

I think if Biden would have bowed out in Nov 23 and the dems had a real primary we would be good...but yeah the trump bullshit machine was very effective at getting male GenZ voters fired up. Polling seems to suggest most of them regret that now but it's too late. They were the only group that didn't remember how stupid his first term was.
