US EditionLargest Federal Employee Union Calls for Kristi Noem’s Firing After Alex Pretti’s Death
The American Federation of Government Employees links DHS actions to a nurse's death and cites contradictory statements that undermine public trust, demanding leadership changes.
- On Monday night, the American Federation of Government Employees issued a statement demanding Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller resign or be fired.
- Alex Pretti, an intensive-care nurse at a VA hospital, was shot and killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026, prompting AFGE to blame Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller.
- Axios and other reporting found that Stephen Miller ordered Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to claim Alex Pretti was armed, while local videos and sources in Minneapolis contradicted these accounts and noted officers quickly hired lawyers.
- AFGE demanded an independent third-party investigation and bipartisan congressional oversight while Democratic members of Congress pressed impeachment and the White House met with Noem; President Donald Trump said investigations are moving forward.
- Given that AFGE represents tens of thousands of DHS employees, Minneapolis operations have killed two U.S. citizens this month, raising political and operational stakes.
