Who’s Next? White House Watch

"Worst of the worst? Like five-year olds? Or like the murderers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were removed from the state to avoid prosecution? And is this protocol?
Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy, said shortly after Pretti's death that he attended a Minneapolis protest over the weekend with the intent to "massacre agents." Axios reported on Tuesday that Miller forced Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to use similar talking points about Pretti, including the assertion that he was a "domestic terrorist."

Miller was forced to walk back those claims after the Trump administration faced significant pressure to reform its immigration regime. CNN's Kristen Holmes read his statement on "Erin Burnett OutFront," and described it as "stunning."

"He is essentially conceding or acknowledging that there might have been a breach of protocol when it comes to the shooting of Alex Petti," Holmes said. "And just a reminder, this is the same person who said that Pretti in the aftermath was a would-be assassin."

"This is what the statement says, and he lays this out very clearly," she continued. "He says that 'The White House provided clear guidance to DHS, that the extra personnel that had been sent to Minnesota to force protection should be used for conducting fugitive operations to create a physical barrier between the arrest teams and the disrupter teams, goes on to say, we are evaluating why the CBP team may not have been following that protocol.'"
Somebody doesn’t want to be responsible.
BREAKING via @CBSNews
: Notice sent to congressional officials from U.S. Customs and Border Protection with details on fatal shooting of protester Alex Pretti says two federal immigration officials discharged their weapons, both Glocks. During the struggle, a Border Patrol yelled, "He’s got a gun!" multiple times. There's no mention of Pretti brandishing his gun prior to the shooting. Minutes before, at 9 a.m., a CBP officer was confronted by two female civilians blowing whistles. The women were ordered to move out of the Minneapolis roadway, but did not move. Pretti was pronounced dead at 9:32 a.m. Via @camiloreports
While in the White House, nothing changes.
