A disaster. What we\u2019ve seen is innocent people getting detained that turn out are American citizens. I could talk about the culture that\u2019s been created here. After the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, when I spoke to Alex\u2019s parents, they told me that you calling him a domestic terrorist \u2014 this was directly from them \u2014 the day after he was killed, a nurse in our V.A., Alex \u2014 one of the most hurtful things they could ever imagine was said by you about their son. Do you have anything you want to say to Alex Pretti\u2019s parents? Ma\u2019am, I did not call him a domestic terrorist. I said It appeared to be an incident of \u2014 I think the parents saw it for what it was. In a hearing \u2014 recent hearing before the HSGAC committee, C.B.P. and ICE officials testified under oath that their agencies did not inform you that Pretti was a domestic terrorist \u2014 during that hearing, stated during that hearing, I was getting reports from the ground, from agents at the scene, and I would say that it was a chaotic scene. How did you think that calling them domestic terrorists at that scene was somehow going to calm the situation? The fact that you can\u2019t admit to a mistake, which looks like under investigation, it\u2019s going to prove that Ms. Good and Mr. Pretti probably should not have been shot in the face and in the back. Law enforcement needs to learn from that. You don\u2019t protect them by not looking after the facts.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-hple31\">Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem repeatedly refused to apologize for suggesting that Alex Pretti and Renee Good, two U.S. citizens shot and killed by agents, were domestic terrorists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>By Christina Kelso and Jackeline Luna<\/p>\n<p>March 3, 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>new video loaded: Senators Question Kristi Noem on ICE Immigration Tactics transcript Back transcript Senators Question Kristi Noem on ICE Immigration Tactics Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem repeatedly refused to apologize for suggesting that Alex Pretti and Renee Good, two U.S. citizens shot and killed by agents, were domestic terrorists.
