"President Trump: I make a direct appeal to immediately fire Secretary Noem," Fetterman said, according to Daily Mail's Jon Michael Raasch. "DO NOT make the mistake President Biden made for not firing a grossly incompetent DHS Secretary."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt refused to defend aide Stephen Miller after he described Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse gunned down by Border Patrol, as an "assassin" who "tried to murder federal agents."

During Monday's White House briefing, one reporter noted that the Department of Homeland Security had accused Pretti of wanting to do "maximum damage" and "massacre law enforcement."
