"Donald Trump is reportedly 'furious' with the way the Department of Homeland Security has handled the events in Minnesota over the past several weeks. He is not upset with the immigration enforcement activities. Rather, he is upset that Americans are seeing them."

"Calls for an investigation have come from across the political spectrum after video analysis showed officers had removed a handgun from Pretti that he was reportedly permitted to carry – and which he was not handling – before fatally shooting him on Saturday. Trump officials, meanwhile, are continuing to lie about what happened."

"Fox’s Bill Melugin, one of the administration’s favorite reporters, wrote, '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.'”

"Multiple federal immigration enforcement sources, including senior officials, told Fox News that DHS has damaged its credibility and internal morale by publicly exaggerating claims that Alex Pretti intended a 'massacre,' despite video evidence showing he never drew his weapon."

"Those same sources told Fox there is no indication he meant to kill agents and believe the shooting will likely be deemed a 'bad shoot' driven by split-second decisions in a chaotic moment. Several described DHS’s messaging as a disaster for crisis management that has worsened the situation, eroded trust, and cost the agency support, even as they continue to back the administration’s broader immigration agenda."

Plenty of Republicans are deeply uncomfortable about what happened on Saturday, and not just the awful incident itself but the administration’s immediate reaction.

"The NRA waded into the national dialogue over Pretti’s killing after Bill Essayli – who was appointed by Trump to temporarily serve as a US attorney in California in 2025 – posted on social media: 'If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you.'”

"In response, the NRA posted: 'This sentiment … is dangerous and wrong. Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens.'
Gun Owners of America, a non-profit lobbying organization, also criticized that claim from Essayli – who is now an acting first assistant US attorney for California’s central federal district court."

"The NRA and pro-gun groups are joining the chorus calling for a full investigation of the killing of Alex Pretti—a stance that is at odds with the administration’s 'blame Alex Pretti for his own execution' narrative."
