Stephen Miller: CBP agents in Minnesota ‘may not have been following’ protocol

White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller pivoted from his earlier stance on the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, suggesting on Tuesday that Customs and Border Protection agents might not have followed their orders. He said the Trump administration was analyzing the events that transpired that day, culminating in Pretti’s death.

“The initial statement from DHS was based on reports from CBP on the ground,” Miller said in a statement to ABC News. “Additionally, the White House provided clear guidance to DHS that the extra personnel that had been sent to Minnesota for force protection should be used for conducting fugitive operations to create a physical barrier between the arrest teams and the disruptors.”
