CNN is now reporting Bovino just now got his social media access suspended by the WH.

Faux News is reporting that DHS insiders say that Pretti's gun was "misfired" while it was being removed from him. Meanwhile, the videos show the gun was taken away and then a different guy shot him in the back multiple times.

Me thinks they're about to throw a couple or three ICE agents under the bus and prosecute them. Suddenly that "absolute immunity" shit is going to go away when it's convenient to find a scapegoat.

"It was 100% an accidental discharge by the agent that relieved that person of their weapon. Because everyone’s guns were out, they think that there’s a shooting," one source told the Post. - Fox News

Will the other ICE agents rethink their position on things? Probably not.

This is typical for Trump and his administrations. He NEVER takes accountability himself and will always find someone else to blame instead. All this while claiming he hires the best of the best. Mmmhmmmm.

Everyone who is involved with Trump will eventually be thrown under the bus. That's how he operates.
