Maria Bartiromo implied it was illegal to film federal agents. It's not. She then said that Alex Pretti "holding a gun up to Border Patrol" Pretti never touched his legal gun during the entire interaction he had with the Border Patrol agents when they killed him.

The day after DHS agents shot Alex Pretti 10 times, Secretary Bessent suggested it was justified because Pretti had a gun holstered on his waist, which he was licensed to carry. As the Treasury Secretary, his credibility matters. His refusal to retract his words speaks volumes.

Homeland Security He is seen here recording with his phone when ICE approaches him. At no time do you see him draw his gun. In the video where he is shot & killed, you see an agent grab his gun & run away a few seconds BEFORE another agent shoots him 5x. He was disarmed before he was shot.

BREAKING: Just one week before Alex Pretti was shot and killed by a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis, he was physically injured in a previous encounter with federal immigration agents. Pretti intervened while ICE agents were pursuing a family, shouting and blowing a whistle to draw attention, and was tackled by 5 agents, suffering a broken rib. Pretti later said he feared for his life during that earlier confrontation. Importantly, he was not charged with any crime in that earlier incident, and he had no criminal history, according to local authorities.

"They said Alex Pretti was holding a weapon – but the weapon was never the gun. It was always the phone." "The phone that reveals the truth is more powerful right now than a gun in the holster." Officials took Pretti's phone after he was killed - will we ever see the footage?

.Ben Shapiro says that even if Pretti was disarmed before he was shot, that doesn't mean the shooting was automatically unjustified: "The question becomes: did the officer who shot him know that he had been disarmed?...If you're an officer... and you hear someone yell gun and then a shot goes off, and you don't know the gun has been removed from the guy, then you absolutely could fear for your life..."

Case closed. Alex Jeffrey Pretti pushed the ICE officer (assault on a law-enforcement officer, obstruction); was pepper sprayed; resisted arrest; Pretti was armed, reached for his gun, seems to have grabbed his gun out of his holster; an ICE officer grabs his gun; gun goes off (whether by accidental discharge or not); Pretti is shot, predictably. Pretti was there to obstruct law-enforcement. He arrived at the riot armed with a scoped semi-auto 9mm. Had upwards of 50 rounds of ammo, no ID, had scrubbed his social media posts before arriving. He was there to go down in a blaze of glory.

Fox Contributor Ted Williams: It was said he was brandishing a weapon. He was not, he did have a weapon, it was said by the white house he attacked the agents. No, He did not. You can see one of the agents takes his gun and that's before he’s shot.
