"In general, we need to have respect for law enforcement officers in the country. ICE, they are law enforcement officers. So they, being the White House, need to recalibrate on what needs to be done to make sure that respect is going to be re-instilled. That's not an easy task, especially under the current circumstances. But I know that they're working on a game plan to make sure that they're going to recalibrate,"
"Pretti was killed by Border Patrol agents Saturday in a chaotic scene in Minneapolis. The agency was already dealing with the blowback from the shooting death of Renee Good weeks earlier, but this past weekend only amplified that criticism. Officials within President Donald Trump's administration quickly defended the agents responsible for Pretti's death, but the narrative being spun has not matched up with video evidence of the incident."
"Officials within President Donald Trump's administration quickly defended the agents responsible for Pretti's death, but the narrative being spun has not matched up with video evidence of the incident. Largely due to these high-profile killings, public support for ICE and the Department of Homeland Security in general has taken a nosedive. CNN's Harry Enten noted Monday morning that ICE's net approval rating sank to a whopping -27."
Governor Greg Abbott urged the White House to rethink immigration enforcement following the killing of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. The Border Patrol faced renewed criticism amid an earlier shooting of Renee Good, and officials defended the agents despite video evidence that undermined that narrative. Public support for ICE and the Department of Homeland Security has sharply declined, with ICE's net approval rating plunging to -27. Abbott called for recalibration by the administration to re-instill respect for law enforcement and to focus enforcement on removing people who pose the most danger.
