Episode notes
DHS Timeline Raises Use-Of-Force Questions
- DHS's preliminary review says two federal agents discharged firearms during the Alex Preddy killing and does not assert Preddy reached for his weapon.
- The report also omits that videos show Preddy's gun was taken before he was shot, raising questions about lethal-force justification.
Limited Federal Cooperation Concerns
- DHS conducted an initial review but state investigators say federal cooperation has been limited, leaving independence concerns.
- That lack of independent access complicates verifying federal accounts and the integrity of the investigation.
De-Escalate Through Local Coordination
- Tom Homan's mandate is to de-escalate: liaise with local leaders and reduce public rhetoric.
- Officials should prioritize calm coordination over media statements to lower tensions on the ground.
