In the hours after Border Patrol agents shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, President Donald Trump and his administration appeared to directly undermine the rights granted to gun owners in the Second Amendment. Department of Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem inaccurately said Pretti was a “domestic terrorist” who was “brandishing” his legally held gun. (Video footage has since shown that Pretti did not draw his gun at any point during his fatal interaction with federal agents.) FBI director Kash Patel wrongly told Fox News it’s illegal to bring a gun to a protest. One is clearly seen removing Pretti’s gun from his waist, before another fires the first shot and then Pretti is killed.
