“Everything I’ve done, I’ve done at the direction of the president and Stephen,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told one source who relayed her comments to Axios.

Pretti, 37, was legally carrying a handgun when he was tackled by multiple federal agents, but video shows he did not brandish the weapon. Agents can be seen on video disarming Pretti before firing numerous shots into him while he was on the ground, killing him.
True. I think I was responding to the headline, which leaves Trump out of it. It’s another example of how the media has been covering the ICE situation. It’s all Stephen Miller, Noem and Bovino’s fault, and now, after multiple gratuitous murders, Trump is “softening” his stance. They make it sound like Trump is the reasonable one, when he was the one who appointed all of these people and stoked racial hatred against Somalis and others.
