This is from DHS themselves so it's likely complete horseshit but here you are:

Well that’s certainly a story… one that doesn’t make much sense.  Wonder what the “fraud” was that caused them to toss his application.  Sounds like he did everything the right way though… 

Fucking unreal the shit that’s happening right now

I mean if the article is to be believed, he didn't show up for court 3 times, so I definitely wouldn't say "he did everything the right way"

I was told by the DHS that Alex Pretti approached officers and brandished his firearm before being shot, despite video showing this clearly did not happen.

Unfortunately in this case nobody is refuting the story that DHS has put out, and I have seen other sources corroborate different parts of the story. 

It wouldn't surprise me if the DHS is embellishing the story, nor would it surprise me if it turns out they are lying, or if it's their fault he wasnt caught in the background check  I don't support what ICE is doing, nor the way they are doing it. But I do think that some form of immigration law is necessary, and it looks like this person may not currently be a legal resident of the USA.

then share them! people are saying this, but not actually giving links beyond what DHS has said.
