During Thursday’s Senate Homeland Security Committee, all three men overseeing the top federal agencies running immigration enforcement under Trump testified they did not give DHS Secretary Kristi Noem any information describing Alex Pretti as an domestic terrorist wanting to cause mass casualties of law enforcement after he was brutally murdered by ICE.
Democratic Sen. Gary Peters asked ICE Commissioner Rodney Scott, Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Joseph Edlow, and Acting Director of ICE Todd Lyons point blank if any of them had given Kristi Noem the information she used to smear Alex Pretti after his death.
Remember, DHS Sec. Kristi Noem immediately came out after the murder of Pretti and attacked Pretti as being armed and dangerous so ICE agents feared for their lives and killed him. She claimed he appeared to want to inflict maximum damage of law enforcement, saying he committed an act of terrorism.
Sen. Peters wanted clarity on how the Trump administration came to so many erroneous conclusions about Pretti’s death.,
