Trump Administration Second Term

Sen. Lindsey Graham pushed back at Sen. Thom Tillis for criticizing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and White House adviser Stephen Miller after they labeled Alex Pretti a "domestic terrorist," saying Miller's support from President Trump is "rock solid" and praising his role for the administration. Those early characterizations were made before an incident report and remain unsubstantiated, drawing bipartisan criticism and putting Trump in a delicate position as he defends Noem, promises a thorough investigation, and faces intra‑GOP disagreement over whether Pretti’s possession of a firearm justified the federal agents’ use of deadly force.
