Why are Republicans defending the killing of Alex Pretti?

One of my old school conservative friends on Facebook (not a Trump supporter) commented the above question. It seems clear to me that Pretti cooperated with ICE and was executed. I can think of a few possible explanations why Republicans would rationalize this instead of just agreeing that ICE made a mistake, but each one feels like it’s only part of the answer. What’s the heart of the matter?

Mostly because they are watching fabricated and doctored video that agrees with the administration lies and haven't decided to see the alternative videos, believing them to be lies. They aren't questioning what they are being told or bothering to look at other sources that have actual information because they are convinced everyone but the administration lies.

It's confusing if you aren't seeing what they are being shown and how it's being presented. They truly do think anyone who thinks the video they see is propaganda are the actual perpetrators of said propaganda.
