Miller counters DHS role as White House faces backlash over Pretti shooting

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller distances the administration from DHS amid outrage over the killing of Alex Pretti by immigration agents in Minneapolis, saying his initial terrorist-labels came from DHS and that White House instructions may not have been followed by CBP. The statement signals a White House bid to deflect blame as it reshuffles personnel and pursues a de-escalation approach in Minnesota amid protests and political backlash.
