CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Come together for what? Progress towards what? I’m genuinely asking. The federal government is murdering Minnesotans and disappearing our neighbors. So if any of these CEO’s want to explain to me personally what I — as a state leader — should ask the federal government for, I’m available.
A letter released Sunday by the leaders of more than 60 Minnesota companies — including the CEOs of Target, General Mills, UnitedHealth Group and 3M — called for local and federal leaders to “come together to foster progress.”
Live: Minnesota's high-profile CEOs break silence, call for ‘immediate deescalation’
The letter marks a notable shift from Minnesota’s top employers, who had previously remained quiet about the surge of immigration officials in the state and the killing of Renee Good.

> "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility

that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps
And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

Candles lit around the city last night, including of course at the Alex Pretti memorial where Pretti was shot and killed by ICE agents earlier in the day.

Signs reading "Alex Should Be Here", "Warning signs of fascism", "Do justice love kindness abolish ice".

A fun thing about reading medieval history is that every time there was a mad or out-of-control king, the word of the day was "the king is surrounded by bad advisors." No one actually believed that, but they said it because to say anything more directly meant getting your head chopped off.
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) on CNN: “I think the death of Americans, what we're seeing on TV, it's causing deep concerns over federal tactics and accountability. Americans don't like what they're seeing right now. … [Trump’s] getting bad advice right now.”

The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians:

If the regime was even half savvy and/or cared about democracy in any way they'd serve up the ICE agents who murdered Alex Pretti on a platter for prosecution. They're not, though, because everyone is absolutely fucking high on their own supply and they're fully committed to authoritarianism.

As predicted: the stabilized footage has pretty much immediately become a significant issue for the federal government here.
BASH: Why was an unarmed man shot multiple times by your Border Patrol agents?

BOVINO: Dana, you don't know he was unarmed. I don't know he was unarmed. That's freeze frame adjudication. That's why we have an investigation.

BASH: It's not a freeze frame

We all burned to death in 2020 and the feds have sent ICE to kidnap our ghosts.

“Hamms huh!” “Yeah, you need one?”

“Naw, thanks though. You local?”

“Yeah woke up to gun shots”

Rest in peace Alex Pretti. You will be remembered as a hero. I saw my immigrant neighbors out tonight mourning. You’ve touched the hearts of our immigrant community. We will not rest until justice is served.
