Overview
- The ABC panel aired multiple angles of the Minneapolis shooting as Whoopi Goldberg called it “straight up murder” and addressed Kristi Noem and Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino by name.
- Homeland Security officials have defended the agents as acting in self-defense, but bystander video shows Pretti holding a phone and separate footage appears to show an officer removing a handgun from his waistband before shots were fired.
- Pretti, a 37-year-old VA ICU nurse and legal gun owner, was killed during a federal enforcement surge in Minneapolis weeks after Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent.
- Noem has said the administration is investigating the incident, while a witness statement and public comments challenge claims that Pretti acted violently.
- Response has widened beyond partisan lines, with cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin criticizing the operation, Sen. Jacky Rosen calling for Noem’s impeachment, and celebrities displaying “ICE OUT” pins at Sundance.
