Yep.
Noem and Bovino justified Pretti's murder, saying Pretti was brandishing a gun. Kash Patel says you can't bring a gun to a protest, even if you legally carry one.

Guess they forgot about Trump supporters in Michigan protesting Gretchen Whitmer in April of 2020.

🚨"YOU'RE ALL UNDER ARREST" An ominous announcement can be heard on border patrol's radio just moments after their agents THREW Status Coup's reporter Tina-Desiree Berg, and deployed tear and flash bang grenades at the press indiscriminately.⬇️

A Trump regime thug shot an unarmed civilian in the face at point blank range with a kinetic impact projectile, leaving him permanently blind and with shrapnel in his eye and skull for life. The 21 year old, Kaden Rummler, barely survived the attempted murder. #3E #GoodvsEvil

WAKE THE FUCK UP, AMERICA! 👇

Everything that's happening, EVERYTHING is according to Project 2025…

This is a planned assault on our rights and our democracy.

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?!

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

His last act on this earth was saving a woman from being either beaten or killed by the same men who beat & killed him

Another example of the worst excuse for a human murdering one of the best of us

I'd like the stats on what percentage of ICE agents have a history of domestic violence

NEW: The ICE killing of Alex Pretti, the second in Minneapolis, prompts quick legal action.

After ICE agents killed Alex Pretti on Saturday, lawyers responded quickly — leading to one TRO issued before the night's end aimed at preserving evidence of the killing.

My report at Law Dork:

🔥 “This started as a pretext about immigration and fraud… it’s WELL beyond that now. It’s into your 2nd/4th/6th Amendments… We’re performing CPR on what may already be a corpse called the Constitution… Wake up. This isn’t just Minneapolis. It’s ALL of us.”

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment

"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.

At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

It's been another nightmarish day. I'm worried about us, about you. Our country is falling. This winter storm is affecting most of us. Stay warm and safe. Don't go anywhere. Hug your lovies. We need each other.
Take a good rest.

The level of hate and evil in this administration has me considering that there might actually be a devil. But that would be a cop out. Humans are capable of unimaginable evil. And it's heartbreaking to realize we've failed as a species.
“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.

The next could be you.

What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.

This is personal — to every one of us.

Governor Walz should have a prime time news conference and read the letter from Bondi to the public and then state loudly, "We do not negotiate with terrorists."

Beyond sick.
Yes.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
