Trump Retreats After Alex Pretti's Killing

The podcast analyzes the political fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, focusing on the government's response and the subsequent retreat by the Trump administration. It highlights the administration's initial smear campaign against Pretti, labeling him a domestic terrorist, and contrasts this with Pretti's background as a veteran-caring ICU nurse. The discussion covers the broader implications of the incident, including the erosion of trust in government institutions and the aggressive tactics of ICE and CBP. The hosts examine potential congressional responses, such as leveraging government funding deadlines to demand changes to ICE and DHS, while also noting the limited impact of such reforms without a change in presidential administration.
