The Trump administration's initial statements defending violence from immigration enforcement officers in Minneapolis often contradict what anyone can see with their own eyes. Videos and court testimony, time and again, point to a pattern of government deception. In a social media post, Deputy White House Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller called Pretti a "would-be assassin." Scripps News asked DHS whether Noem still stands by her early comments blaming Pretti for his own death. Then on Jan. 20, 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken from a running car in his driveway by ICE agents as he was coming home from preschool.
