The Trump administration is sending border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota.

The administration is working to reframe the narrative surrounding the deadly shootings by federal immigration agents in the state.

NPR White House correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben joins us now to talk about this.

Hi, Danielle.

What do we know about what happened in this call?

I mean, how does this square with how the administration had previously talked about Walz?

So that's their statements.

Let's talk about their actions for a moment.

The administration says it's sending Bordasar Tom home into Minnesota.

What does this change mean?

Why is this significant?

Still, though, Danielle, Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem have both called Pretty a domestic terrorist, a would-be assassin.

It really seems hard to walk back that rhetoric.

That is NPR White House correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben.

Thank you so much, Danielle.

And to learn more about Preti, we reached out to Heather Zielinski, his friend.

They had known each other for more than 10 years.

We reached her earlier this afternoon.

Heather, thanks for talking to us.

Tell me how you knew Alex Preti.
