White House backtracks initial claims about Alex Pretti after intense backlash
Hugo Lowell – The Guardian

“The evolving positions at the White House were notable for how quickly they were changing and how reactive the administration was to a sudden free fall in support of ICE and US border patrol tactics across Washington, most notably among Republicans on Capitol Hill.”

“President Donald Trump on Monday announced he is dispatching Homan — bypassing the normal chain of command — where Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Bovino have been overseeing ICE operations.”
“Noem, Bovino and FBI Director Kash Patel have defended the agents’ actions. Noem said Pretti had been “brandishing” a gun and possessed multiple magazines with the intent to inflict harm on officers — a “massacre,” Bovino claimed. Patel went so far as to suggest carrying a gun to a protest is illegal.”

“Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and deputy White House chief of staff Stephen Miller quickly accused Pretti, an ICU nurse, of domestic terrorism after Saturday’s shooting without citing any evidence.”
“The shooting is being investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI, Leavitt told reporters. Customs and Border Protection is also conducting their own internal review, she said.”
“Noem, Bovino and FBI Director Kash Patel have defended the agents’ actions. Noem said Pretti had been “brandishing” a gun and possessed multiple magazines with the intent to inflict harm on officers — a “massacre” Bovino claimed. Patel went so far as to suggest carrying a gun to a protest is illegal.”
“Trump, like Noem, Bovino and Patel, criticized Pretti for carrying a weapon at a protest and had called Pretti a “gunman” in a social media post over the weekend.”

US Dept. of Homeland Security
Some may say ICE wasn’t created until after the catastrophic military failure of 911. Ditto for the US Dept. of Homeland Security.
Americans were told they faced a life and death situation after 911. If certain actions were not taken, terrorists could come to America to disrupt our way of life and attempt another 911.
US Dept. of Homeland Security
This giant federal agency now has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in working to prevent cartel product from entering the US.
More overdose deaths now, or before DHS?
Past 25 Years Of American History
This time featured the highest levels of alert to keep terrorists out (REAL ID, big Homeland Security budgets, Super Bowls guarded by DHS, etc.) and lined up with the highest number of drug overdoses due to cartel product arriving in US communities?
Has any newsperson anywhere asked questions on this?
Under Kristi Noem
Cartels move product into all 50 states.
DEA High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas:
“…HIDTA-designated counties are located in 50 states…”
Welcome Home Troops. Thanks for doing time/risking your ass in Iraq and Afghanistan, working to keep a post 911 USA safe & secure.
Don’t worry-The Super Bowl and public affairs will be safe:
