Top White House aide Stephen Miller acknowledges possible breach of protocol before Alex Pretti’s shooting | CNN Politics White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said Tuesday that officials were evaluating why Customs and Border Protection agents in Minneapolis “may not have been following” proper protocol befor...

The blame game heats up:

A few days ago they were confidently smearing a murdered man as an “assassin” - now Noem is whining that it’s all Miller’s fault and Miller is blaming Customs and Border Patrol for bad info. They all need to go down.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

Statement | January 27, 2026 Democracy Defenders Fund issues the following statement in response to recent actions by the Department of Homeland Security and its immigration enforcement agencies.

Stephen Miller & Sec. Noem have cost innocent people their lives and trampled the rights of thousands more w/ warrantless home invasions and racial profiling.

Both must resign.

DHS exists to make us more secure. But right now it's doing the opposite. www.democracydefendersfund.org/prs/01.27.26...

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

The American Federation of Government Employees, the union that Alex Pretti belonged to as an ICU nurse, and the country’s largest union for federal employees, is calling for Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be dismissed by President Trump.

A vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau comes under intense scrutiny An RFK, Jr.-linked vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau is not cancelled, despite reports.

Kristi Noem shot and killed her family dog.

She’d have no hesitation going after and ending Stephen Miller (who has much less value to the world than a dog).

this is completely insane and more people need to say that doing this is completely insane

There's no way you can keep funding a federal government who's primary mission is to inflict pain on the population. Every federal agency from McMahon at DoE to RFK shredding HHS and everything in between. Every day we let them stay open is more time we'll need to repair the damage they've done

Noem is bad. Miller is worse. Force him out.

What the fuck is wrong with this man’s brain

Kristi Noem must resign.

And if she won’t, she must be held accountable and impeached by Congress.

The $40 million that Bezos paid for the Melanie propaganda film would cover the cost of about 200 journalists for a year.

BTW, if Senate Dems want technical reforms, here's one: amend 8 USC 1357 so DHS agents do not have power to arrest without a judicial warrant unless they are GS-1811, grade of GS-13 or higher.

Real criminal investigations would be unaffected, but CBP & ICE goon squads would be severely limited.

Here’s How Many ICE and CBP Agents Allegedly Preyed on Children Apparently the institutions are riddled with accused sex criminals.

ICE is riddled with sex criminals.

A January 2026 report by the Pacific Antifascist Research Collective identified 30 ICE and CBP agents with documented convictions and arrests, some for serious violent and sexual crimes.

At least 20 committed offenses with underage victims.

The earlier incident started when he stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and began shouting and blowing his whistle, according to a source who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution. Pretti later told the source that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back – an encounter that left him with a broken rib. The agents quickly released him at the scene. “That day, he thought he was going to die,” said the source.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.

He thought he was going to die.

Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.

And a mob of agents killed him.

Republicans Lawmakers Are Very Upset That Judges Might Learn Things Republican Lawmakers Don’t Like The conservative legal movement really, really does not want federal judges learning basic facts about climate science.

you're never gonna believe who's suddenly worried about judges being inappropriately influenced and biased by private organizations

Can you imagine how much money could go to other things that matter if we just dismantled this horror show who's only job in this country is to kill kidnap and rape?

We wouldn't be here if Dem Senators didn't fold in November to get nothing and you think they know what they're doing

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."

Amazing how long ago Venezuela invasion and Greenland threats seem. Cycles of manmade chaos.

Chuck Schumer's starting position should be as maximalist as possible -- complete abolition of ICE, resignations of Bovino, Homan, Noem and Miller, unmasking of all agents, and prosecution by state authorities of the murderers.

Don't start with what looks like a compromise half-measure.

-Bovino will leave MN and may lose his job
-Noem will face a Senate hearing and possible impeachment
-Senate Dems will oppose unconditional extension of DHS funding

The pushback is working.

We must keep standing up and speaking out against Trump's regime.

After the public execution of Alex Pretti, the administration is blaming the optics, th tactics, the messaging, Bovino’s head just rolled, now they may have Noem’s head roll as well, but none of that is to blame for what’s happening on the streets of America. Donald Trump is to blame. He unleashed this lawless, un-American cruelty. He and his party must pay the price. Their heads must roll. It Ain’t The Optics. It Ain’t The Messaging. It Ain’t Noem. It Ain’t Bovino. It’s Trump

It Ain’t The Optics. It Ain’t The Messaging. It Ain’t Noem. It Ain’t Bovino. It’s Trump: After the public execution of Alex Pretti, the administration is blaming the optics, th tactics, the messaging, Bovino’s head just rolled, now they may have Noem’s head roll as well, but none of that is to…

Moral bankrupts do not even begin to describe Trump, Vance, Miller, Noem, etc., down to the latest hired ICE agent on the street.

In a paraphrase of the familiar prayer, we need to deliver ourselves from this evil.

Anyone surprised by this story has been living in a fantasy world. Since Jan 2025, the Trump administration has been using lots of different tactics to force Ukraine to commit strategic suicide. This is just the latest.
The real story is that people have not grasped this reality.

I keep thinking about something that people on so many sides of this have pointed out: the protests in Minnesota worked because of on-the-ground organization that built on existing, off-line connections. This should be tremendously instructive to all of us.

Medical staff in scrubs stand silently in two lines along a hospital hallway, heads bowed in respect. One person covers their face in grief. The corridor sign reads "Intensive Care Unit." Yellow lights line the floor.

Exclusive: Hegseth boosts Minneapolis immigration siege, approving use of military base In an email obtained by the Chronicle, U.S. Customs and Border Protection asked for use of Fort Snelling to house federal immigration agents, weapons, vehicles and aircraft.

Don't get distracted with this Homan bullshit.

They're just replacing one evil with another.

Meanwhile, Hegseth just approved the use of the military base Fort Snelling to expand ICE operations in Minnesota.
