An initial internal review into federal immigration officers’ fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis last weekend contradicts the description of the incident by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. We discuss President Trump’s shifting messages on immigration policy and how his administration’s efforts to restrict legal immigration pathways are changing the political environment.  This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, immigration policy correspondent Ximena Bustillo, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro. This podcast was produced by Bria Suggs and Lexie Schapitl, and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.

  • This week on Consider This, ICE agents in Minnesota now reporting to Tom Homan,

  • the architect of the president's family separation policy.

  • Who does Homan report to?

  • Up until now, it's been Stephen Miller,

  • but I think the administration is seeing how much trouble listening to Miller has gotten them in when it comes to public opinion.

  • This week on Consider This, listen on the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Hey there, it's the NPR Politics Podcast for Wednesday, January 28th, 2026.

  • I'm Tamara Keith, I cover the White House.

  • I'm Jimena Bustillo, and I cover immigration policy.

  • And I'm Domenico Montanero, senior political editor and correspondent.

  • And we are recording this at 11.52 a.m.

  • Immediately after Alex Pretty was shot and killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis,

  • top government officials labeled him a domestic terrorist on a mission to kill law enforcement.

  • That was immediately contradicted by bystander video and court testimony.

  • Now, Customs and Border Protection has done its own initial internal review.

  • And its description matches the videos seen across social media,

  • but bears little resemblance to what had been the official line.

  • Jimena, you got your hands on this review.

  • Tell us more about it and what it said happened.

  • So this was a review that had to be delivered to congressional committees
