Kristi Noem Refuses To Admit She Wrongly Called Alex Pretti, Renee Good ‘Domestic Terrorists’Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem repeatedly refused to admit she was wrong when she rushed to cast two Minneapolis residents – Renee Good and Alex Pretti – fatally shot by federal immigration enforcement agents as “domestic terrorists.”Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) grilled Noem as she testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, asking if she retracted her offensive claims. Neither Good nor Pretti was a terrorist; both were American citizens doing nothing illegal.Noem “offered condolences” to their families and said these were “tragic” situations, but would not say she was wrong. She said she was relying on agents' reports on the ground when Good and Pretti were shot, but Durbin said officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection previously testified they did not tell Noem that either was a domestic terrorist.“It was a chaotic scene,” Noem replied.“Is it so hard to say you were wrong?” Durbin demanded.“We always know there is room for improvement,” replied the secretary.Their exchange was cut short as someone in the audience began shouting at Noem and was dragged out.See All UpdatesClose
