UNBIASED Politics
January 29, 2026: New Alex Pretti Video Footage, a Potential Government Shutdown, Updates in Minneapolis, an FBI Investigation Into Signal Chats, and More.

Now, a few things the report doesn't mention.

UNBIASED Politics

Number one, it does not mention an accidental discharge from Pretty's weapon, which, as we just said, had been confiscated by another agent just seconds before the shooting.

I know there were talks of that possibly being the case, there potentially being an accidental discharge that then caused the agents to fire at Pretty, but none of that was mentioned in the report.

Two, the report does not say how many shots were fired or which shots killed Pretty.

So that's the gist of the preliminary report.

UNBIASED Politics

And again, this is just a preliminary report that is based on an initial investigation.

UNBIASED Politics
January 29, 2026: New Alex Pretti Video Footage, a Potential Government Shutdown, Updates in Minneapolis, an FBI Investigation Into Signal Chats, and More.

So it's not going to detail everything.

UNBIASED Politics
January 29, 2026: New Alex Pretti Video Footage, a Potential Government Shutdown, Updates in Minneapolis, an FBI Investigation Into Signal Chats, and More.

That'll likely take some time.

The next development is that the agents that fired their weapons have since been placed on administrative leave.

So according to a CBP spokesperson, the move is standard protocol, and the spokesperson said it shouldn't be viewed as any suspicion of wrongdoing.

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin also confirmed that the ICE officer who shot and killed Renee Good has also been placed on administrative leave.

So administrative leave is essentially a temporary leave of absence from duties, but you're still entitled to pay and benefits.

It's not until the investigation progresses that the agency will then determine whether those agents are brought back or they face further action.

Obviously, if that investigation finds violations of policy or protocol, then the agents would be removed from service.

But if the investigation finds no wrongdoing,

you know, no protocol violations, then they would likely be able to return to work.

The next development is that Democratic lawmakers are threatening to impeach DHS Secretary Noem.

UNBIASED Politics
January 29, 2026: New Alex Pretti Video Footage, a Potential Government Shutdown, Updates in Minneapolis, an FBI Investigation Into Signal Chats, and More.

So we'll start with a little backstory and then we'll talk a little bit about impeachment and what that would entail and what it would mean for Noem's position.

UNBIASED Politics
January 29, 2026: New Alex Pretti Video Footage, a Potential Government Shutdown, Updates in Minneapolis, an FBI Investigation Into Signal Chats, and More.

Earlier this month, in the wake of the Rene Good shooting, Democratic Representative Robin Kelly introduced three articles of impeachment against Noem.

One of those articles was or I should say cited obstruction of Congress.
