The Department of Homeland Security is facing mounting pressure after a deadly federal shooting in Minneapolis triggered a political firestorm. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is under intense internal scrutiny after labelling Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist before the investigation was complete, sparking backlash from unions, lawmakers, and civil rights groups. As questions grow over DHS conduct and accountability, the White House has reportedly raised concerns behind closed doors. Donald Trump held a private two-hour meeting with Noem as the administration moved to contain the fallout, while Border Czar Tom Homan was dispatched to oversee DHS operations in Minneapolis.
