Erick Erickson penned a pretty good analysis of what took place in Minneapolis Saturday in his newsletter yesterday. Yours truly added comments in the italicized sections.
There is someone else on Noem's team who should be mentioned: Corey Lendowski. 'Nuff said.
Regrettably, I spent a lot of time on Sunday reviewing the footage and I’ll tell you what I see, knowing so many are seeing what they want to see — contrary to the Trump Administration’s claims that Mr. Pretti wanted a mass casualty event or was a domestic terrorist, and contrary to my own earlier statement that Mr. Pretti was an “agitator” and not just a protestor, Mr. Pretti was not the aggressor. Unlike Renee Good, who spent her day stalking agents and used her car to obstruct them before striking an agent with her car, Mr. Pretti was filming their activities. The altercation with Mr. Pretti came when he went into the street to video agents roughing up a different protestor, who had turned into an agitator. Mr. Pretti extracted that person and, with another person, walked away. But border patrol agents followed, shoved one of the people, and Mr. Pretti attempted to help that person up. The agent began spraying them with a chemical, and Mr. Pretti attempted to put himself between the agent and the other person. That is when the scuffle ensued. I’m willing to stand my ground on Renee Good hitting the officer. I know a lot of voices on the right will echo the Administration’s attacks on Mr. Pretti here. But after watching too many clips from too many angles, he does not appear to be the aggressor or instigator. And I think the rush by Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino to malign him as quickly as possible and before a proper review of the facts suggests they know it. A very senior White House official tells me President Trump understands this is different from the Renee Good situation and bothers him.

He must have thought about it quite a bit because he sent Homan up to Minnesota and pulled Noem and Bovino. Noem should have never been appointed. She has no law enforcement or intelligence experience. She showboats too much, worrying more about making headlines instead of just doing her job.
Marc Caputo, who is one of this Administration’s preferred reporters, notes Kristi Noem made a lot of misleading statements. Bill Melugin* of Fox News notes there is “extreme frustration” with how DHS is handling this and reiterates something I have been saying for a while. ICE is getting blamed for things that are caused by Border Patrol and Greg Bovino. Tom Homan has specifically opposed these sorts of broad and public efforts that Bovino and Kristi Noem prefer.
* Melugin's Tweet: Since yesterday's deadly shooting in MN, I've talked to more than half a dozen federal sources involved immigration enforcement, including several in senior positions, who all tell me they have grown increasingly uneasy & frustrated w/ some of the claims & narratives DHS pushed in the aftermath of the shooting. Specifically, I'm told there is extreme frustration with DHS officials going on TV and putting out statements claiming that Alex Pretti was intending to conduct a "massacre" of federal agents or wanted to carry out "maximum damage", even after numerous videos appeared to show those claims were inaccurate. While they say it was a terrible decision to show up with a gun and inject himself into a federal law enforcement operation, there is no indication Pretti was there to murder law enforcement, as videos appear to show he never drew his holstered firearm. These sources say this messaging from DHS officials has been catastrophic from a PR and morale perspective, as it is eroding trust and credibility - comparing it to when Democrats falsely claimed the border was closed or that Haitians were being whipped at the border. Some of these sources have described DHS’ response to the shooting as “a case study on how not to do crisis PR”, one said they are so “fed up” that they wish they could retire, another said “DHS is making the situation worse”, and another added that “DHS is wrong” and “we are losing this war, we are losing the base and the narrative." These sources all believe this is going to end up being what they call a “bad shoot”, a “shitty” situation that happened in seconds where agents likely heard “gun!”, then the disarmed firearm may have had an accidental discharge that spooked the agents, and they shot. The agents do not have the luxury of multiple slow motion angles - and had to make split second decisions. All of the sources support the mass deportation agenda, but have serious hesitations about the way it is being carried out and the messaging that comes with it. Many of the sources have expressed frustration that ICE is routinely blamed for the actions of Border Patrol, a completely separate agency.

A Wall Street Journal analysis of all the footage indicates Mr. Pretti did not brandish his gun, pull his gun, or otherwise attempt to defend himself with or target immigration agents with his gun. In the tense situation and struggle as Mr. Pretti was helping someone else off the ground, the Wall Street Journal concludes agents most likely found Mr. Pretti’s gun, and the current speculation — and it is speculation, but informed by eyewitnesses and video — is that an agent shouted “gun” upon finding the gun, thereby provoking another agent to open fire. There is also some speculation that the gun discharged after agents had taken it. There is, at this time, no evidence that Mr. Pretti pointed his gun at agents or otherwise brandished it.
Both sides have rushed to define the situation before facts could be pieced together. There is still much to review. I must admit, given both Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino’s statements in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, I’m hesitant to trust much of what comes from them unless it can be truly backed by evidence and affidavit. We have an affidavit from a doctor at the scene that agents both acknowledged they did not know if Mr. Pretti was still alive and, despite that, refused to allow medical attention at the scene from the doctor who offered to assist.
Uh-oh.
Mr. Pretti had every right to have a gun with him and he had every right to protest the border patrol and film their activities. He had no right to obstruct or impede immigration agents, but it really does not appear he was doing anything other than filming them. He is dead through a series of escalations from Democrats and Trump Administration officials, who, as I noted yesterday, wanted a more aggressive public spectacle related to deportations, sidelining both the heads of ICE and the Border Patrol for suggesting otherwise.

He indeed had a right to carry a gun, what does constitutional carry mean after all, and doing so, even at a protest, is not a crime. However, there is a difference between protesting and interfering with arrests, attacking federal agents, doxxing agents, and getting in their faces. The chancers were high something bad was going to happen and something did.
I refuse to play the game of it all being one side’s fault or the other because, as I noted yesterday, Kristi Noem decided to ignore the advice of the leaders of both Immigration and Customs Enforcement and of Border Patrol, choosing to elevate others around their own leaders internally to maximize the spectacle and escalate tensions.

Erickson included a tweet by veteran conservative commentator Mary Katherine Hamm:
In every clip I've seen of Noem today, she's saying something she can't know or that is a lie. She also undercuts 2A to say carrying ammo is a problem on its face. I know it's too much to expect people to be responsible, but this is opposite of a grown-up doing the job.
Writers at conservative publications such as National Review, Redstate, Real Clear Politics, and Hot Air are challenging Noem's narrative as well. Gun rights groups are taking her to task as well.
Tim Walz and Jacob Frey have done the same, urging on protestors to engage in “good trouble,” and declaring themselves “at war” with the federal government. Now, Walz is comparing the situation to Anne Frank hiding from the Nazis. We now also know that at least two Tim Walz political strategists have been involved in a Signal chat used to coordinate the agitator’s response to immigration enforcement. We also know the ICE Watch group has been training to physically disrupt federal agents, including using physical assaults against the officers. As of this morning, there is growing evidence that multiple Minnesota politicians are in the above-referenced Signal chat, and they have been planning physical altercations with immigration agents — something beyond mere protest.Ah yes, their little Signal group where activists and politicians worked on plans to confront and agitate ICE. No state resistance to federal law there, right. The Citizen's Council would be proud of their tactics, right.
Minnesota’s Lieutenant Governor, a far-left radical who has previously urged violence to support trans rights, has been calling on protestors to put their “bodies on the line” to stop immigration arrests.

Exactly. Walz has done nothing to calm things down. He could have told people to protest but not agitate or confront. Only Waltz knows why he is egging them on into more confrontations.
Unfortunately, the left has put the Trump Administration in a position where it cannot stop enforcement because to do so would be to surrender to mob rule. Unfortunately, Department of Homeland Security officials have placed the President in a position where, should he change tactics now to carry out the mission, but minimize the spectacle, it will look like the President caved to a mob. Here is what I find really notable in all of this. The Trump Administration, for now, insists it is going to keep doing the same thing. The dead Americans brought it on themselves. Even as the public grows more concerned with the tactics the Trump Administration is using to support a deportation policy Americans otherwise support, the Trump Administration shows no signs of altering its course. They’re going to double down, regardless of backlash, because they think it is right and do not want to appear to surrender to a mob. I very much support deporting illegal aliens and fear the Trump Administration’s own personnel are going to jeopardize the policy through a public backlash.

What is taking place up in Minneapolis brings to mind a scene from The Sum of All Fears. The Americans and Russians are both at Defcon 1 with forced forward deployed. Being at high alert and in such close proximity, conflict starts breaking out with little provocation by the antagonists (other than a nuclear attack in Denver).
There should be an independent investigation of what took place. Contrary to Noem's narrative, Pretti was not brandishing a firearm nor threatening anyone with it. He was shot in the back after being disarmed. The question is whether an agent freaked out after hearing "gun", the agents murdered him in cold blood knowing there were cameras recording as well as their own body cams, or an agent fired after an accidental discharge of the Sig P320. Google the history of that handgun. It has a history of discharges. Investigate and prosecute if need be. If the agents are innocent of murder, defend them as well and don't them hang out to face the mob. If they are guilty of murder or manslaughter, prosecute and lock them up.
Make no mistake, the federal government has every right to enforce immigration laws in Minnesota despite Minnesota's attempt to nullify federal law (Shades of John C. Calhoun). All Minnesota has to do is cooperate with ICE by notifying ICE when it arrests illegal aliens as even California does. Doing so would see an end to the raids out in streets and neighborhoods.

I've interacted with Noem twice, the last time being about a year ago. I think Trump has hit the mark with most of his Cabinet members. He badly missed it with Noem.
The death of the man was horrible. One question keeps popping up in my mind. Why would a man decide it was a good idea to go to the protest armed with a gun? Carrying a gun is not bad and going to a protest is not bad. Why in the world would a person carry a weapon to a protest when they know there are law enforcement trying to do their job and there is a good chance of problems with the crowd.
Hit the mark? Surely you jest. RFK. Bondi. Noem. Hegseth.
We're literally the laughing stock with these morons.
Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of absolute lies. Pretti wasn't just standing around filming. He was part of a large, organized group of agitators who had raced to the scene to interfere with the arrest of an illegal alien criminal. Pretti is on video from multiple angles stepping between the cops and one of his fellow agitators and shoving a cop.
The reason they mob the cops like this is to make it too dangerous to arrest any of them, since there are dozens of "protestors" and only a handful of cops. Pretti deliberately created a dangerous situation while armed and it got him killed. Boo hoo.
The solution, of course, is to send more cops and arrest all of them, but left-wing activists in the government (and especially the judiciary) refuse to enforce the law because they think infinity immigrants will eventually give them total control over the country. And they're right. That's why they have to be stopped.
It was murder. plain and simple, caught on video.
Does it make it ok that the agents who remain unidentified claim that someone yelled "gun!"? no. this is what happens when you send untrained people into urban situations. People get killed. Its unacceptable. the administration needs to do better.
CBP/ICE should be at the southern border, not MPLS.
The job of the President of The United States is to lead our country to a better place. Can anyone honestly say that President Trump is accomplishing this?
Bottom line…if the guy wasn’t out there showing his @$$ and packing, he would still be alive. Just like George Floyd, he made a series of poor choices at the wrong time and ended up getting unalived. If MN officials had been following the law and cooperating, this guy & Renee Good would still be alive. If the crooked, leftist Dems hadn’t thrown open the border, these roundups wouldn’t be necessary and a whole lot of innocent people would still be alive.
Interesting stretch categorizing Walz with (effectively) the Klan.
Maybe he didn't want to leave his gun in his vehicle. Regardless, his carrying doesn't make him guilty of anything or worthy of being killed, but maybe poor judgement, which isn't a crime.
So far with lots of videos, including a bodycam, there is no evidence that he pulled his Sig, brandished his Sig, none.
This sounds like a "sympathetic gunfire" scenario after a negligent discharge. Look it up. He was shot 10 times!
Noem is an unqualified, pretty face, former governor in over her head.
But for the Biden/Harris/Mayorkas door wide open immagration tactic--none of this would have occurred.

Two citizens got in the way and died? That’s unfortunate but I want my family protected from the criminals. I don’t want my tax dollars supporting them either.
10:47, Biden, Obama, and their predecessors brought us to this place. Do you not think enforcing our laws and getting a handle on the billions being stolen from our taxpaying citizens annually is the direction we need to be going to find that better place?
Oh, horse malarkey. Pretti was 100% an instigator and contacted an officer of the law who was performing his duties. He and his little street commies on their chats stalked and harassed officers of the law who were lawfully conducting activities.
Where Eric is wrong from a former US Attorney now defense attorney:
1. Pretti was waving for cars to drive thru the BP operation while BP Officers were in the street.
2. The woman in the white jacket who was pushed did not have her back to the officer. As she approached the snow she turned around to face the officer, and it was at that point he shoved her to get her out of the street.
3. Pretti putting himself between the BP Agent and the woman, no matter how much it might be instinctual, is a crime.
4. "Pretti did not start it" – Pretti had a clear path to the sidewalk which is where he was headed, and he reversed and went back to engage the BP Officer. THAT is where Pretti “started it.”
5. What you really want to argue but you can’t bring yourself to say it is “He didn’t resist that much.” “His motives for interfering with the Officer’s efforts were well intentioned.” That’s not the law. The “degree” of resistant nor the goodness in the heart of the lawbreaker don’t turn crimes into non-crimes.
6. BP didn’t pursue “them” and shove “them.” One of the three turned around and faced the BP Officer, stopping in her tracks. The BP Officer shoved her. Pretti could have kept going – Pretti did not. That was PRETTI’S CHOICE.
7. The “Agents” didn’t remove the gun. One Agent removed the gun and immediately turned away and left. It is UNKNOWN if any other the others were aware. This came after one or more Agents yelled “GUN” – communicating to all they were engaged with an ARMED individual who was resisting their efforts to subdue him. When an agent yells "GUN" he doesn't yell "One Sig P320 9 mm, silver with white grips, in a holster in he small of his back". "GUN" simply means armed with a handugn.
8. It is not “speculation” what gun he had – it was a Sig P320 AXG COMBAT, and the P320 DOES have a problem with unintended discharges.
9. Law enforcement agents were not obligated to assume he had only one gun. They knew nothing about him. What they knew was 1) he was resisting, and 2) he had a firearm. That means he was “armed”. Taking one gun does not, by itself, mean he was thereafter “unarmed.” If you don’t understand that, then you don’t understand the law.
10. Your continued reference to “they” in describing the actions of BP Officers is sloppy and inaccurate. "They" did many different things all at the same time.
Yea, because we were saturated with respect with the other moron in the WH. You need stop watching The View
Now do Ashli Babbit.
One line in the entire article is all that needs to be said, "The dead Americans brought it on themselves."
100%. He is making strategic moves that will benefit this country in the future. The Democrats did a lot of damage the last 4 years. Just because it is not happening over night doesn’t mean he is not making things better.
But, but, but he was an ICU nurse. He cared!!!
FAFO.
We don't need DHS. Its formation was a political "we're doing something" decision after 9/11. (Never let a disaster go to waste).
Someone shouted GUN!! That's all it takes. The other officers start shooting and the man is dead. Their bosses will defend them no matter what the facts say. Nothing will be done. Too bad. Back in the late 60's at Jackson State a bunch of geeked up highway patrolmen were marching through the campus during an otherwise non-violent demonstration. They say somebody heard a bottle break. The officers start shooting. Two unarmed bystanders on opposite sides of the street are killed. Their bosses defended them no matter what the facts said. Nothing was done. Too bad. Maybe the demonstrators will live and learn about cops. Maybe the cops will be better trained. But don't count on either one.
Covid all over again…
One more point: the "protestors" are all acting in concert. Each one of them is "just filming" until it's his turn to physically interfere with the cops, like a flock of blackbirds mobbing a hawk.
They're literally organized and trained ahead of time on these tactics.
11:00 am. “Maybe he didn’t want to leave his gun in his vehicle” Yea, you are probably right with all of the invited criminals an imported domestic terrorists allowed to roam the streets in this sanctuary city. I guess he also was concerned with someone stealing those 2 fulling loaded extra clips too. I read the deceased had left his nursing job weeks ago and was a full time street walking insurrectionist. This was according to his parents. They even warned him not to engage with authorities but he probably loved his new job so much he couldn’t resist.Alex Pretti purposely came armed to disrupt law enforcement and probably was prepared to use his firearm if he felt the desire. 99 out of 100 times that kind of plan will get you killed. Info from his phone and his activities in the weeks leading up to his death will tell the full story.
This president's qualification for cabinet is unquestioned loyalty to Trump, and only Trump. His will be done. That's not hard to understand, is it? (Well maybe he also likes a pretty face...but that's not hard to understand either)
I was a fan of Kristi’s when she was SD Governor but potentially having an affair with Lendowski during public displays and the DHS mismanagement have made me re-think her.
Pursuing criminals while being chased by leftists will never be a sanitary process. It's dangerous, unpredictable and very fluid. This shit is on the current and past policies of Minnesotas politicians. They are all rabid leftists with a burning love for the deadbeat criminal and all that he can ruin. F--k them. Let Trump enforce the law and get out of the way. I voted fot this.
Pretty simple, do not obstruct or assault law enforcement. ICE is active in 16 states with few problems. The one state under active investigation for billions in fraud with demonstrable links to the governor and ag is the one that became violent?? This is the easiest connect the dots ever. Useful idiots never know whom they are. Doesn’t much matter the crisis or inflection point, they are easily lassoed into it. Most of them have failed in one way or another throughout their lives; it’s easier to stand up for the cause of the day and feel virtuous than to look into the self loathing reality. Sadly, most of them have had most of their potential wealth and equity redistributed to the people and system they are out there defending. Lenin’s mausoleum must be filled with laughter at the irony. Even more disheartening, history has clearly shown almost every time these misfits get turned up to eleven (rip RR) they have been on the wrong side of it. These people are completely devoid of the ability of stepping back for even the briefest moments of self assessment. For most of them, if they did they would never get past the mirror in the morning.
Most of these useful idiots are not healthy in almost any way, most certainly not mentally. To make matters worse, they tend to forego all logic and rely upon feelings and sage reaffirmations from Ruffalo and Maddow types if not worse. I’m willing to bet, if not one idiot inserts theirselves in front of ICE doing their job tomorrow, not one gets shot and wrongful arrest of Americans remains at 99.99%. As they round up people here illegally. With at least 35% being felons, that can’t be a bad thing.
The midterms are going to be a bloodbath because instead of doubling down and telling these Marxist creeps to “FAFO” Trump is going full TACO.
This will do nothing but embolden these insane Marxists and the moment they return to power they will not hesitate to go full speed with their agenda. Unlike Trump who learned nothing from his first term. You never give them an inch. They do not have the majority. Their voice is merely amplified by the legacy media!
The Bolsheviks create chaos and uses martyrs, then cries victim.
Choosing not to obstruct or assault law enforcement officials has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.
I am 100% sure if this idiot had stayed at home he'd still be alive.
I fought the law and the law won.
echoing the statement that "if they had stayed at home" and taken care of themselves, their family, or minded their business, they would still be alive
Why doesn’t the right have 1 million + paid counter protestors willing to be deployed anywhere in the country at a moments notice? Why is ICE having to do this alone? Remember how the Proud Boys would kick some Antifa ass? Why did the right get all chickenshit when the leftists called them Nazis? Now they are calling ICE Nazis! Everyone is a Nazi! Even KF is guilty of calling even the most mild criticism of Israel, “Nazi Jew bashing”
To potential ICE protesters: do not remove yourself from the gene pool. Do this by: staying home. Too much? Stand on the sidelines blowing your rape whistles. Still too much? Don’t bring a gun? Gotta have one? Don’t have a bullet in the chamber with the safety off still too much? Don’t leave your conceal carry and ID at home? Still too much? Don’t interfere with ICE? Still too much? If you are pushed, don’t push back. If you are pepper sprayed, don’t struggle. If you must have a gun, let them know. If you do carry, use a holster that wouldn’t let it fall out.
Or, do what the Darwin Award winner did. And if you ass-u-me you aren’t going to get yurass shot, you made poor life choices.
Sure you have.
Carrying a weapon that is prone to randomly fire.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Make that 12 years including Barry's damage.
The midterms are going to be a bloodbath ...
You told us Biden and then Harris was going to win too.
"ICE is getting blamed for things that are caused by Border Patrol and Greg Bovino."
That's what I've been thinking. No one seems to be making that distinction on the national stage.
As I recall, Bovino and Border Patrol were specifically brought in because they were willing play Army in the streets of Minneapolis. They're a bunch of military fan-boys, without the training.
@1:15 I never said that because I’m not a leftist.
But this chickening out shit is a bad look for Trump and he did it a lot in 2019 and 2020
Wonder how much the governor took of the money the illegals were allowed to steal from taxpayers? How many is he going to allow to be killed instead of obeying the law?
