Provocation was the strategy. Outrage was expected. But once facts contradicted the narrative, legitimacy cracked—and it cascaded: claims walked back, leaders sidelined, WH distancing, leaks surfacing, tone shifting to “wait for the investigation.” That’s the pivot point

@StephenM Courts don’t rule that entire groups are “exempt from consequences.” They rule on specific laws and cases. Undocumented workers actually pay billions into tax systems they can’t collect from. Policy debate is fair — but we should stick to what rulings actually say

American citizens face severe civil and criminal penalties for any tax violation. Today, a federal judge has ruled that illegal aliens are functionally exempt from any consequences for robbing the American taxpayer.

@CGasparino Precision matters. Yes, engaging officers while armed is reckless and escalates risk. But lethal force hinges on the moment of the shooting. Video shows him holding a phone, not presenting a weapon. Bad judgment doesn’t erase that fact

Ok here’s what he did: Pretti engaged physically with ICE agents while carrying a concealed weapon with TWO spare rounds and he exhibited reckless violent behavior. I don’t want him to get shot while resisting arrest, during a violent melee, but he was far from a peaceful protester and he should not have engaged officers while carrying. In fact, he should have told officers he was carrying while engaging with them. Why didn’t he? The whole left narrative this guy is some simple protester is absurd and the latest videos support that position.

When you frame resistance as “felony conspiracy” instead of dissent, confrontation isn’t accidental — it’s built in. That’s not de-escalation. That’s narrative hardening before facts are established. Visibility and force over coordination and restraint. — and that’s the choice being made.

Once again, defying a federal law enforcement agency in the conduct of its duties is a crime. Doing so in an organized, coordinated scheme is a felony conspiracy to impede the state by force.

@megynkelly Prior misconduct isn’t proof of lethal intent later

Alex Pretti was itching for another confrontation with Border Patrol, whom he’d been stalking, harassing and terrorizing. HE had been victimizing THEM. His felonies are on tape. He was reckless, and it cost him his life. Find another poster boy, illegal-loving Leftists.

@StephenM Absolutes like this aren’t analysis — they’re slogans. Immigration policy is complex, and flattening it into “open borders vs. order” ignores the law, the economics, and the human cost.

The Democrat Party yearns and fights and struggles for nothing more than a fully open border to the third world.

@BillOReilly Claims of a funded “insurrection” need evidence, not insinuation. Protests can be organized and rooted in real local anger over tactics and deaths. Blaming shadow funders avoids the harder question: why deploy high-friction ops where unrest was predictable?

The corrupt American media is ignoring an enormous story attached to the chaos in Minnesota. billoreilly.com/b/Whos-Funding…

@StephenM When courts doing their job are framed as “subverting democracy,” that’s not law-and-order — it’s narrative warfare. This is exactly the escalation model: delegitimize oversight, harden the base, and treat any check as proof of conspiracy. Facts and due process get sidelined

There is an old expression among ICE agents “it’s not over till the alien wins.” The leftist Courts are doing everything in their power to subvert democracy.

@JesseBWatters That framing is exactly the problem. When unrest is instantly labeled “riots,” it becomes proof the strategy is “working.” Protest doesn’t trigger restraint — it justifies escalation. Visibility and confrontation first. Facts and investigations later.

🚨 NEW: DEMOCRATS DIDN’T “LOSE CONTROL” — THEY PLANNED IT 🚨 They FLOODED the border with 20 MILLION illegals 🌊 Worked with cartels, imported chaos, then hid them in sanctuary cities 🏙️ ICE shows up — and suddenly it’s RIOTS and SHUTDOWN THREATS 🔥 Trump cut illegal immigration and violent crime to historic lows 📉 The Left’s response? BLACKMAIL and VIOLENCE ⚠️ Why? POWER. Census seats. Welfare cash. Votes. 🗳️💰 This isn’t compassion — it’s a POLITICAL SCAM 🇺🇸🚨

@IngrahamAngle Saying protesters “organized the chaos” misses the point. When federal leadership chooses high-visibility, confrontational tactics in a volatile city, unrest isn’t a surprise — it’s priced in. Protest becomes proof the strategy is “working.” Power owns foreseeable outcomes

They didn’t just react to chaos — they organized it. What we’re seeing in Minneapolis isn’t random — it’s a calculated, funded effort to derail one of the key pillars of the Trump agenda: border enforcement and rule of law. That’s why a thorough, unbiased investigation is crucial — not just into the shooting itself, but into what led up to it. instagram.com/lauraingraham/

@BigDreeamer @overton_news No one’s saying officers should “reset.” The issue is facts. Carrying ≠ pulling, and video disputes the claim he drew. Deadly force demands clarity, not slogans. Let the investigation establish what actually happened—accuracy protects officers and the public.

This is a landmark moment for the media. Karoline Leavitt just called out the entire press corps to their faces for their selective outrage following the shooting of Alex Pretti. A reporter asked where this same outrage was when Ashli Babbitt was killed in the U.S. Capitol. LEAVITT: “Well, you raised a very important point, which I also believe I just raised in those opening remarks, in that there has no doubt been selective outrage by the liberal biased media, picking and choosing victims and highlighting their stories.” “And as I’ve said, President Trump does not want any Americans to lose their lives in the streets of America and in American communities across the country.” “He believes what happened on Saturday is a tragedy, but every life is equal to President Trump. That’s why the lives of Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray continue to matter to him and remain an utmost priority to this very day.” “And it’s unfortunate that we did not see the same type of sensationalist media coverage over the tragic deaths of those innocent American women and girls across the country, as we are seeing in the wake of this tragedy that took place on Saturday.”

@kaitlancollins @priscialva theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

Wow. Per @priscialva, DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately. He spent yesterday responding to people who were criticizing him and raising questions about his unverified claims about Pretti.

@ryanhuff @LauraLoomer Protest isn’t hatred of country—it’s often love of it. Equating dissent with “anti-America” is a lazy tactic that feeds fear and division. Apathy is what weakens a society; engagement, even uncomfortable engagement, is how democracies correct themselves.

@bobmoon13 @LauraLoomer Laura Loomer, and others, feed off the insecurities of Americans for their own benefit and at the expense of society. To equate protesting the government with hating the country is ridiculous. People protest their government because they love their country. Apathy = inaction.

The Democrats will go crazy over one radical left protestor who hates America but they won’t say a word for the 40,000 murdered Iranians who love America. There is so much misplaced outrage.

@dldier09 @SenJohnCurtis I don’t support anyone rushing to judgment—feds or locals. Calling it “murder” before facts are in is wrong, just like declaring “terrorist/massacre” before evidence is settled. Same standard for everyone: preserve evidence, independent investigation, then conclusions.

@SenJohnCurtis You disagree with Noem. Care to mention if you agree or disagree with the Governor, Mayor and AG for the state going directly to the podium, with even less information, and condemning our federal agent a murderer? How about you tell us where you stand with that

You’ve trusted me, and maintaining that trust matters. I’ve worked hard to be your eyes, ears, and voice.   We must have a transparent, independent investigation into the Minnesota shooting, and those responsible—no matter their title—must be held accountable. Officials who rush to judgment before all the facts are known undermine public trust and the law-enforcement mission.   I disagree with Secretary Noem’s premature DHS response, which came before all the facts were known and weakened confidence. I will be working with a bipartisan group of senators to demand real oversight and transparency, including supporting calls from @RandPaul for leaders of these operations to testify, so trust can be restored and justice served.

WSJ: Minneapolis is now seen inside the WH as a political liability. Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is fielding calls, while Stephen Miller pushes aggressive enforcement. That split helps explain why Tom Homan is being sent in—to reset ops after optics and credibility spun out.

@Michael79463741 @overton_news I’m not trying to be “likable” or score points. I’m trying to be consistent. Hypocrisy exists on all sides, and calling it out doesn’t mean you stop caring about facts, due process, or accountability. That standard shouldn’t depend on which team you’re on.

@bobmoon13 @overton_news You’re not smart Bob. Dems are hypocrites and not likable

@nceagle11 @SenJohnCurtis @MeidasTouch Unfortunately

@bobmoon13 @SenJohnCurtis @MeidasTouch Exactly...the exact opposite of what is happening.

@PiralisArt @kaitlancollins @priscialva @KristenhCNN I get why you feel that way. I can’t pretend to know anyone’s motive, but I can say the messaging has been heavy on fear and light on evidence. If they want trust, it’s simple: facts, transparency, corrections when needed, and an independent investigation.

Gregory Bovino is expected to leave Minneapolis tomorrow, per @priscialva, @KristenhCNN and me. His public appearances did not go over well internally this weekend, including when he claimed Pretti intended to “massacre” law enforcement. #cmkvm294r00003b6p11gho5vs" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cnn.com/us/live-news/m…
