Overview
- A newly circulated January 13 video shows a man identified by family as Alex Pretti confronting ICE agents and being forced to the ground days before he was killed.
- Two CBP officers tied to Pretti’s shooting were placed on administrative leave the day of the incident, according to officials.
- A preliminary Department of Homeland Security report to Congress does not indicate that Pretti brandished a firearm, diverging from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s initial statement.
- Presidential envoy Tom Homan said immigration enforcement will continue with more targeted operations, pledged to soon reduce the roughly 3,000-agent deployment, and promised discipline for unprofessional conduct.
- The Senate is set to vote Friday on Homeland Security funding after Trump said a compromise was reached, as Democrats seek to restrict ICE resources.
