That’s even more lopsided than the already-lopsided verdict on Good’s killing. It went from 58% in a poll that spanned the weekend of Pretti’s killing to 62% a week later. The Quinnipiac poll shows 60% of registered voters want ICE out of Minneapolis, and 58% want Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem removed from office. All of these numbers largely confirm what was already written all over the administration’s reaction to Pretti’s killing — at least after some top officials initially sought to paint him as an “assassin” and a terrorist. On this one, it’s evident that Pretti’s killing was seriously jeopardizing that political firewall.
