Oh, Tiny Goebbels, you COY TEASE! MILLER: ICE goons who murdered Pretti ""may not have been following proper protocol"

Miller said on Tuesday that agents in Minneapolis “may not have been following” proper protocol when they shot Alex Pretti, marking a stunning shift away from administration officials’ previous statements on the shooting.

“The White House provided clear guidance to DHS that the extra personnel that had been sent to Minnesota for force protection should be used for conducting fugitive operations to create a physical barrier between the arrest teams and the disruptors,” said Miller in a statement to CNN. “We are evaluating why the CBP team may not have been following that protocol.”

Miller’s statement represents a change in tone on the part of President Donald Trump’s administration following the two deadly shootings of U.S. citizens in Minneapolis this month.

A prominent architect of Trump’s immigration policies, Miller has faced criticism over his dubbing Pretti an “assassin” in the hours after his death.

6. Of course, his reasoning is probably that they should only shoot from the front without cause, not the back.

flung them into the back of a police car. Also, ICE wasn't near as evil under the Biden admin., so something has happened since the admin. changeover that has allowed ICE to treat American citizens so badly.
