28.01.2026 โ‡ข The Day Federal Agents Were Sidelined
โŒจMorning headlines focused on a Department of Homeland Security report confirming federal officers killed Alex Pretti, directly contradicting initial White House claims of armed resistance. Editorial priorities shifted as the administration faced internal fractures, with bipartisan calls for Secretary Kristi Noemโ€™s resignation intensifying.
By afternoon, attention turned to the administrative suspension of the agents involved in the Pretti shooting and the criminal investigation into an assault on Representative Ilhan Omar in Minneapolis. Conservative outlets emphasized the suspect's criminal history and Omar's previous political rhetoric, while mainstream sources tracked the Federal Reserveโ€™s decision to hold interest rates steady despite White House pressure.
The day concluded with a legislative standoff as Senate Democrats conditioned Department of Homeland Security funding on strict new ICE restrictions, including body cameras and judicial warrants. Late-night reporting highlighted a judicial rebuke of ICE for violating nearly 100 court orders in Minnesota, alongside new video evidence showing a previous physical altercation between Pretti and federal agents days before his death.
