Sen. John Fetterman urged President Donald Trump to fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. The article also reports criticism of Noem from other Democrats and contrasting statements from Trump administration officials about the incident.
Fetterman said he was making a “direct appeal” to Trump to dismiss Noem, accusing her of betraying the Department of Homeland Security’s mission. The article says 120 House Democrats had signed an impeachment resolution against her, and quotes Sen. Jack Rosen calling her leadership a failure.
Noem said Pretti approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun, resisted efforts to disarm him, and committed an act of domestic terrorism. The article says video footage shown since his death had not provided evidence that Pretti attacked officers. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump wanted the facts and investigation to guide him; Trump said his administration was reviewing the matter.

9 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Sen. John Fetterman urged President Donald Trump to fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after a fatal shooting in Minneapolis. Center outlets place his call alongside questions about DHS and ICE priorities, criticism of Noem, and the White House response. Right-leaning outlets also report the call and Trump’s support for Noem; one article directly rejects Fetterman’s position and presents blame directed at Democrats and demonstrators.
