Trump Team Demands Right to Destroy Evidence in Alex Pretti Shooting

He added that he believes the White House is “working on an action plan” to help federal agents “do their job in a more structured way to make sure that they’re going to be able to deport these people, but without causing all kinds of problems and fights in the communities that they’re experiencing right now.”

Even though Abbott declined to attack murdered protester Alex Pretti, like much of the Trump administration, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller did. called Pretti is a “domestic terrorist” – he has always placed most of the blame on local leaders, particularly Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz.

“Your responsibility, your duty, is to use your office to ensure that there will be calm and order in your community, and that means calming the rhetoric, calming … the anger that your local residents are feeling, and instead bringing calm and order,” he said. “That’s truly Minnesota’s problem. It’s more about the lack of leadership and the lack of appeasement from the governor, from the mayor – and frankly, I think they want it that way.”
