A growing number of Republicans are questioning or criticizing the Trump administration’s response to the killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis on Saturday.
The criticism has extended beyond the handful of Republicans who are known for periodically differing from Trump.
Some Trump allies are also among those questioning immigration agents’ tactics or the Department of Homeland Security’s handling of the shooting. At minimum, they are calling for an investigation into Pretti’s shooting.

My theory is that more Republicans care mainly because he was a gun holder.
They definitely don’t care that he was helping those protesting the fascist federal force that killed him. They definitely don’t see their own hypocrisy of contrasting the protests in Minnesota with the Jan 6 Capitol attacks. The First Amendment means little to them, otherwise they would be also calling out the Prez and not just Noem and the other cronies the Prez appointed.
Rats lethargically waddling from a listing ship. I hate it here.
CBS News Propaganda, trying to make MAGAs seem almost human. Not buying it.
You come for the white women, I was mildly inconvenienced. YOU COME FOR THE WHITE MEN, WTF BRO!!! THIS ONE WAS STRAIGHT!!!11
Straight white 2nd amendment enjoyer. I think that last one is where they really stepped in it with all the inflammatory language that basically amounted to “we have a right to execute you if you have a gun near us”.
Plus being easily the clearest video of all. Holding a man down, disarming him, beating him, then shooting him in the back is pretty brazen
The non-white people they killed before? Yeah, whatever
😐
Just CBS trying to pretend that Republicans are capable of meaningful criticism of Trump.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the gun lobby was pressuring republicans to say something about a gun permit carrying citizen being gunned down because he had his gun and permit on him
Clearly they all see how bad their polling is and want to pretend they “resisted” Trump to hang onto their seats.
Yep, they’re starting to make their bail out plans. This was nothing less than a MAGA Death Squad acting as a firing squad against an innocent American citizen on a public street. Certain people are never going to walk away from this. Those who murdered him, and those who gave the orders, will be going to prison, and EVERY other MAGA knows it, and they don’t want to go down with this ship.
So they’re all going to be throwing whatever scapegoats will stick. Bovino is already gone, and Homan is on his way, so Noem is going to concentrate on destroying FEMA, and Lewandowski will be out.
The big question is Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller, whose name is finally coming up in the conversations about firing. He tries to keep a low profile, but he’s front and center on this one. This morning, I heard Eric Smallwell get asked what it would take for him to vote to fund DHS, and he said “Noem fired, Bovino fired, Miller fired.” For the first time, he has become a lightning rod, and he’s in a very bad storm.
It’s their heads they need to hang onto.
Huh. Wasn’t Ted on “holiday”?
He was on his daily podcast, which isn’t better
Nope, fuck the lot of you swine. You backed that dementia ridden pissmouth cunt for all it was worth to your bottom fucking lines, you get no accord for doing now what you should have done long, long ago. American citizens were murdered by your SS death squads. Fuck the lot of you with solid radium dildos.
You enabled and covered for all this shit. You could stop it, even now. You are complicit.
