Noem Says 'Everything I've Done' Has Been Directed by Trump and Stephen Miller: Report [View all]

Source: MEDIAite

Jan 27th, 2026, 5:50 pm


Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is chalking up her actions in office to the direction of President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller.

Noem, Miller, and others in the administration have faced backlash over their description of the circumstances surrounding federal agents shooting and killing 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday. Noem and others claimed Pretti wanted to “massacre” agents before the confrontation. Administration officials have pointed to the fact that Pretti was armed as proof of his malicious intentions, but Second Amendment activists have consistently pushed back against this.

Pretti’s death followed an ICE agent shooting and killing 37-year-old mother Renee Good in the same city earlier this month. The city is currently suing the administration over ICE’s deployment.

Miller previously referred to Pretti as an “assassin.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called Miller one of the president’s closest allies amid rumors of a rift between Noem and Miller.
