"Specifically, I'm told there is extreme frustration with DHS officials going on TV and putting out statements claiming that Alex Pretti was intending to conduct a massacre' of federal agents or wanted to carry out maximum damage,' even after numerous videos appeared to show those claims were inaccurate. While they say it was a terrible decision to show up with a gun and inject himself into a federal law enforcement operation,"
"While they say it was a terrible decision to show up with a gun and inject himself into a federal law enforcement operation, there is no indication Pretti was there to murder law enforcement, as videos appear to show he never drew his holstered firearm. These sources say this messaging from DHS officials has been catastrophic from a PR and morale perspective, as it is eroding trust and credibility"
Immigration enforcement officials express strong frustration with Homeland Security messaging after Alex Pretti was shot by Border Patrol agents. Sources report that DHS publicly framed Pretti as intending to inflict maximum damage or carry out a massacre, while multiple videos appear to contradict those claims. Officials acknowledge that Pretti's decision to bring a firearm and intervene in a federal operation was wrong, but they say there is no clear evidence he drew his weapon to kill agents. Sources warn that the DHS narrative has damaged public relations and internal morale, eroding trust and credibility and drawing comparisons to past false border claims.
