Inside Trump’s PANIC After Alex Pretti Shooting: ICE Turmoil in Minneapolis, Noem Under Fire  
Podcast: The Tara Palmeri Show

Description: How deep does the chaos run inside the Trump White House after the fatal shooting of Alex Peretti? On this explosive episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Axios's Marc Caputo joins to unpack the mounting turmoil gripping the administration following the killing of 37-year-old Alex Peretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. Sources reveal President Trump's fury over the handling of the incident, his growing anger toward Kristi Noem—who has been sidelined amid calls for her impeachment—and the reshuffling that saw Border Patrol's Greg Bovino removed and Tom Homan deployed to cool tensions. Caputo breaks down the White House's earlier polling panic, the shift from escalation to a search for "peace with honor" or rhetorical retreat, and the internal rivalries fueling the drama, including Noem's performative style clashing with Homan's approach. The conversation traces how viral videos and undeniable facts forced even Trump to confront lies that went too far this time, while advisers fear a "domino theory" loss in Minneapolis could cascade to other cities. What moves will Trump make next to regain control of the immigration narrative and who pays the price in this latest shake-up?
