Pretti’s Prior Confrontation With ICE

- Megyn Kelly and guests argue this shows he was an agitator who knowingly risked harm by interfering with enforcement.
Interference Carries Predictable Risk
- Megyn Kelly frames Preddy as an active agitator who assumed the risk by inserting himself into an ICE operation.
- She and guests stress interfering with law enforcement carries predictable physical danger.
Political Incentives Behind Immigration Stance
