The right-wing media figures who have justified Alex Pretti's killing by Trump's DHS

Following the January 24 killing of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, many right-wing media figures jumped to blame Pretti for his own death and spread false information about his actions.

"Shame on that individual for creating the very consequences that ultimately cost him his life," said one Newsmax guest. Former Fox host Megyn Kelly remarked, "Do you know why I wasn't shot by Border Patrol this weekend? Because I kept my ass inside and out of their operations." Echoing false claims by the Department of Homeland Security, right-wing media figures also baselessly stated that Pretti was a "domestic terrorist" who tried to "confront ICE" with a gun or "commit a mass murder" of federal agents.
