Important reminder that Alex Pretti did not "bring a gun to a protest." There was not a "protest." He was an observer filming and directing traffic because ICE showed up to terrorize his neighbors.

the idea the that the men that executed Alex Pretti in broad daylight on camera are still being allowed to keep "doing their jobs" is absolutely terrifying.
Bovino says they will never tell us which agents killed Alex Pretti— and they will keep working the streets.
