USA Today: Timeline of Trump officials' changing comments on Alex Pretti shooting
Trump officials initially labeled Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist after the Minneapolis shooting but later shifted messaging amid video evidence and internal reviews.
- On Jan. 24, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse, was shot and killed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, with officials immediately framing him as a grave threat to law enforcement.
- DHS and senior officials immediately characterized the incident as domestic terrorism, with Kristi Noem saying Pretti `wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement` and Stephen Miller calling him a 'domestic terrorist'.
- Visual evidence and social posts presented conflicting portrayals as video footage showed Pretti never brandished his weapon, yet President Donald Trump and official White House accounts posted images highlighting the gun's loaded magazines.
- The White House sent Tom Homan, border czar, to oversee Minneapolis, and Karoline Leavitt distanced President Donald Trump from initial language while Homan announced a drawdown of agents and operational changes.
- Lawmakers from both parties, including Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-Louisiana, and Sen. Thom Tillis, R-North Carolina, called for a full, impartial probe as political pressure mounted; President Donald Trump said officials are `reviewing everything` and on Jan. 27 wants an "honorable and honest" investigation.
