## Alex Pretti killing: The Trump administration’s rushed narrative about the shooting has collapsed

Authored by cnn.com

Let’s face it: Under the weight of mounting video evidence and subsequent statements by senior Trump administration officials, the swift narrative painting Alex Pretti as a domestic terrorist hellbent on slaughtering federal agents has collapsed.

Pretti, a 37-year-old Minneapolis ICU nurse, was shot and killed by federal immigration agents just over one week ago during a tense encounter caught on video.

The video shows Pretti sought to shield a woman shoved to the ground by an immigration agent, culminating in his attempt to resist arrest before agents eventually opened fire.

After the January 24 shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem asserted that Pretti, a licensed gun owner, was brandishing a firearm at federal agents, “wishing to inflict harm on these officers.”.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was quick to label Pretti “a domestic terrorist” in the aftermath of the shooting.

To the contrary, a federal agent was seen on video disarming Pretti just before agents opened fire.

“If it’s purely the ICE agent’s word against someone else, game over,” one federal law enforcement source said. »

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — A year after Vietnam elevated its relations with Washington to the highest diplomatic level, an internal document shows its military was taking steps to prepare for a possible American “war of aggression” and considered the United States a “belligerent” power, according to a report released Tuesday.

“This isn’t just some kind of a fringe element or paranoid element within the party or within the government.”.

Zachary Abuza, a professor at the National War College in Washington, said the Vietnamese military still has “a very long memory” of the war with the U.S. that ended in 1975. »
