US EditionTop White House aide Stephen Miller acknowledges possible breach of protocol before Alex Pretti’s shooting
Stephen Miller acknowledged Customs and Border Protection agents in Minneapolis may have violated protocol before fatally shooting Alex Pretti, prompting a White House review of the incident.
- On Tuesday, Stephen Miller said officials were evaluating why Customs and Border Protection agents in Minneapolis may not have followed protocol before Alex Pretti's fatal shooting, noting the White House gave DHS guidance on using extra personnel for fugitive operations.
- Governor Kristi Noem was in near-constant touch with White House officials, including Stephen Miller, on the day of the shooting, and Miller said DHS's initial statement relied on CBP reports.
- Video footage showed Alex Pretti being swarmed and disarmed before he was fatally shot, and the Department of Homeland Security indicated two officers fired.
- President Donald Trump struck a more conciliatory tone on Tuesday, sent border czar Tom Homan to replace Gregory Bovino, and officials said Miller's and Noem's jobs were not at risk.
- Messaging around the shooting has come under scrutiny as officials distance themselves, with Miller's acknowledgment marking a shift from a hawkish stance amid criticism of Bovino and Noem's handling.
