Miller Suggests Federal Agents May Have Diverted From ‘Protocol’ Before Pretti Shooting
The New York Times ^ | 01/28/26 | Max Kim

The comments by Mr. Miller, the influential White House deputy chief of staff, came after days of blaming Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by federal agents.

Stephen Miller, a top aide to President Trump, has suggested that federal agents “may not have been following” protocol before the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, after days in which he and other Trump administration officials portrayed the shooting as justified.

Ugh, now it’s behind a paywall?

A link to a different site:

https://www.cbs19news.com/trump-aide-miller-says-minneapolis-agents-may-have-breached-protocol/article_939fb6d7-2eab-5184-b614-680ed946651a.html

“The White House later said that Miller was referring to “general guidance” to immigration agents operating in the state, rather than the specific incident in which Pretti was killed.

It added that officials would be “examining why additional force protection assets may not have been present to support the operation” to remove undocumented migrants from Minnesota.”

No. The criticism from the Whitehouse is why we’re the guys thrown into an impossible situation without backup.

This putz Miller. Another mouth. He’s never ONCE had to subdue an armed man, actively resisting him, in his entire life. He is the one sending people out there utterly unsupported, in the freezing cold, under constant violent attack... and he sits there having latte’s in White House china cups... deciding how exactly those men spending all day in the snow with hostiles may have been less then perfect?

Triangulating prick... talks a big game, but he’ll throw the fighting men under the bus when it’s expedient.
