Miller behind misleading claim that Alex Pretti wanted to "massacre" agents
https://www.axios.com/2026/01/27/trump-stephen-miller-massacre-minnesota-shooting
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under fire for issuing misleading and incendiary information that claimed immigration agents killed an armed Minnesota protestor Saturday because he wanted to "massacre" them.
But that language was dictated to Noem and her department by the man most responsible for the controversial operation: Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff and top Trump adviser, four sources tell Axios.

(96,368 posts)The picture is a still capture of CNN. Seems to me that it is their 'opinion' or shall we say "story' and not what was aired by CNN. So, no, this is not a viable link just an X posters opinion. And in fact they are trying to smear Pretti along with MAGA Fuentes.
On Jan. 24, 2026, videos show agents disarming Pretti before a Border Patrol officer fired 10 shots, killing him. This is the second fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis this month, sparking bipartisan calls for investigation.
Conservative commentator Nick Fuentes weighs in: "Minneapolis is in chaos because your comrades helped Somalis steal billions of dollars and now that accountability has arrived, shitheads like Frey are emboldening the dirtbags to impede law enforcement. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH." His rant underscores that no one is above the law, and harassment of federal agents must stop.
This raises questions: As a full-time nurse, how did Pretti find time and resources for ongoing protests and monitoring federal activities? Is external funding involved? Who benefits from sustained unrest? 🔍🤔
