The announcement comes after CBP's initial review found that the officers shot Preddy after he resisted their efforts to take him into custody.

The agency's preliminary assessment contradicted the Trump administration's first narrative about the shooting, which accused Preddy of, quote, domestic terrorism and brandishing his weapon.

It is not immediately clear how long the officer's leave will last.

CBP and state officials are both investigating the shooting.

It is also under review by the Office of the Inspector General at the Department of Homeland Security.

So this was a review that had to be delivered to congressional committees because DHS labeled Pretty's death a death in custody.

And so that's why we got this review so quickly.

You know, essentially, it was conducted by DHS's own employee conduct review teams.

And what it says is that Border Patrol officers were actually at first confronted by two women who were blowing their whistles like we've seen before.

Other observers do.

You know, the whistles are assigned to other people in the neighborhoods that immigration officers and agents are there.

And essentially, officers ordered the two women to move out of the roadway.

We see this matchup with videos of, you know, some of the agents approaching the women and kind of shoving them out of the road and into the sidewalk.

That is then when the officers encountered Alex Preddy, who is the 37-year-old U.S.

citizen that was killed.

So Noem quickly organized a press conference at the FEMA headquarters, but most of the time was spent talking about this shooting.

Here's what she told us.

Now, both Nome and the CBP report say that officers were out initially doing a specific arrest.
