ICE, they are law enforcement officers,\u201d Abbott <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houstonchronicle.com\/politics\/texas\/article\/abbott-ice-minneapolis-shooting-21315704.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:said;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">said<\/a> Monday morning on conservative radio host Mark Davis\u2019s show. \u201cSo they, being the White House, need to recalibrate on what needs to be done to make sure that that respect is going to be reinstilled. And that\u2019s not an easy task, especially under the current circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He added that he believes the White House is \u201cworking on a game plan\u201d to help federal agents \u201cgo about their job in a more structured way to make sure that they are going to be able to remove these people, but without causing all the kinds of problems and fighting in communities that they are experiencing right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Even as Abbott refused to attack slain protester Alex Pretti like much of the Trump administration\u2014as White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/top-trump-official-goes-against-152212189.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:called;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">called<\/a> Pretti a \u201cdomestic terrorist\u201d\u2014he still placed most of the blame on local leaders, specifically Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cYour responsibility, your duty, is to use your office to make sure that there\u2019s going to be calm and order in your community, and that means tamping down the rhetoric, tamping down the \u2014 even the anger that your local residents feel, and instead instill calm and order,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is truly the problem in Minnesota. It\u2019s more about the lack of leadership, and the lack of calming by the governor, by the mayor \u2014 and candidly, I think they want it that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Still, it seems that the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti\u2014both caught on video and both so clearly contrary to the Trump administration\u2019s narrative of their domestic terrorism\u2014are a red line for more on the right than they would admit. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Evan Texas Governor and vocal Trump supporter Greg Abbott has taken issue with federal agents\u2019 deadly shootings in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":138856,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[19971,392,58641,27,29,28,7654,11030],"class_list":{"0":"post-138855","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-texas","8":"tag-federal-agents","9":"tag-greg-abbott","10":"tag-stephen-miller","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-texas-headlines","13":"tag-texas-news","14":"tag-trump-supporter","15":"tag-white-house"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138855"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138855\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
