White House senior adviser Stephen Miller called Pretti a "domestic terrorist," the same term some Trump officials used to describe Renee Nicole Good, a Minneapolis woman killed Jan. 7 by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

The DHS secretary labeled Pretti a domestic terrorist without evidence.

President Donald Trump is taking a more conciliatory approach with Democratic leaders in Minnesota. This change follows the second fatal shooting of a protester by federal agents this month.

"When we gaslight and contradict what the public can plainly see with their own eyes, we lose all credibility," one DHS official said.

Footage from at least one of the videos appears to show a federal officer disarming the victim before shots are fired.

The NRA has branded a post attributed to Trump criticising Pretti over his shooting as "fake news" and issued a warning.

Video footage of Pretti’s killing refutes claims from officials that the protester was attacking law enforcement or “brandishing” his gun.

The killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, like the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer, was caught on video.
