"President Trump and his supporters like to think of their MAGA movement as an unstoppable locomotive. After Border Patrol agents brutally beat, shot and killed Alex Pretti this weekend in Minneapolis, we're seeing the Trump Train derail in a way it never has. Already, Border Patrol commander at large Gregory Bovino seems to have been relieved of his post leading a nationwide caravan of cruelty and sent back to his home base of El Centro."
"But it means nothing if one Stephen Miller remains in the White House. Keeping him in power is like performing surgery and knowingly leaving a cancerous tumor behind. The hate-filled ghoul has got to go. The deaths of Pretti, Renee Good two weeks earlier and more and more people on the streets and in detention facilities are the logical outcome of what happens when Miller is in charge of anything."
Border Patrol agents beat, shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, triggering national outrage and damaging MAGA momentum. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino appears to have been relieved of his nationwide post and returned to El Centro. Republicans are publicly calling for the removal of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and privately fear the Minnesota incident will harm 2026 midterm prospects. Trump has promised a 'de-escalation' of immigration enforcement and is attempting to quell nationwide outrage over deportation practices. Stephen Miller's continued influence is presented as central to aggressive, xenophobic enforcement linked to multiple deaths and widespread cruelty.
