CITY, State (Fox News) — Sen. Lindsey Graham defends Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller after Sen. Thom Tillis criticizes them for calling a U.S. citizen killed by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis a “domestic terrorist.”

### Tillis Calls for Noem’s Firing
Tillis is the first Senate Republican to call for Noem to be fired after the killing of Alex Pretti, 37, who was shot by federal agents while recording immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis over the weekend.

### Graham’s Defense of Noem and Miller
Graham defends Noem and Miller, stating that Trump has unwavering confidence in Miller and that both have helped Trump significantly. Despite bipartisan pushback against labeling Pretti a “domestic terrorist,” Trump expresses confidence in Noem to continue leading DHS.

### Controversy Surrounding Pretti’s Killing
Pretti, an ICU nurse, was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents, leading to unsubstantiated claims that he was a “domestic terrorist” and a “would-be assassin.” The White House distances itself from these comments, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation into the shooting.

### Trump’s Response
Trump praises Noem’s work in securing the border but denies hearing the remarks labeling Pretti. He emphasizes the need for an honest investigation into the incident. CITY, State (Fox News) — A new study shows that eating vegetables can improve heart health.
