Stephen Miller - White House to reevaluate "proper protocol before the fatal shooting" of American citizens...

Top White House aide Stephen Miller said Tuesday that officials were evaluating why Customs and Border Protection agents in Minneapolis “may not have been following” proper protocol before the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti — a remarkable acknowledgment of possible wrongdoing from one of the Trump administration’s most influential and hardline operators on immigration enforcement.

In a statement to CNN, Miller said the White House had “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.”

“We are evaluating why the CBP team may not have been following that protocol,” Miller said.

3. Why don't they evaluate why Miller called him a terrorist before any details were known?

Maybe they’d figure out this is all a Project 2025 action item where Americans are just labeled to fit their pre-determined agenda….

Norm is saying I was only following orders. Miller is saying well maybe those guys were not following ‘protocol ’. The higher ups know TACO is never at fault, so they have to point the finger at someone. The bus is circling. And it is hungry.

7. There is nothing "proper" about "protocol" that dictates shooting first and rebuffing questions later.

In just a few weeks, the Republican Party has slaughtered two innocent Americans with Donald Trump and his flying monkeys leading the charge. Maybe these unlawful events will be what brings them all down.
