US EditionFox News Said Tom Homan Should Be Sent to Minnesota — 20 Minutes Later, Trump Did Exactly That
DHS morale is described as catastrophic amid internal dissent over leadership's rapid labeling of Alex Pretti as a domestic terrorist after a fatal Minneapolis protest shooting.
- On Saturday, a federal agent fatally shot Alex Pretti during a Minneapolis protest opposing ICE raids, plunging Department of Homeland Security morale to "catastrophic" after the second recent fatality following Renee Good's death.
- DHS officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, quickly framed Alex Pretti as a domestic terrorist and claimed the agent acted in self-defense, while federal sources said ICE was wrongly blamed for U.S. Border Patrol actions.
- Bill Melugin, Fox News correspondent, reported federal sources in immigration enforcement are frustrated with DHS officials claiming Pretti intended a 'massacre,' while Pretti's family and video footage dispute this.
- President Trump announced he would send Tom Homan to Minnesota after on-air pitches by Brian Kilmeade around 6:15 a.m., praising Homan as "tough but fair" on Truth Social.
- Amid heavy coverage, pro-Trump outlets amplified the administration's framing as a photo of the alleged gun was quickly provided to Fox correspondent Bill Melugin, prompting warnings about DHS's eroding narrative control.
