This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota.
He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

all of Minneapolis is being treated the way police have often treated Black neighborhoods, because Minneapolis as a whole has made it clear it stands with marginalized people.

There's a third video I just watched and it just confirms everything.
He died trying to help people being brutalized by agents.
His response to them shoving two women was to a) help the women and b) put himself between them and the agents WITH HIS HANDS UP.
At no point does he reach for his gun.

Minnesota’s Congressional Democrats are united. We’re speaking with one voice to condemn the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti and to demand that ICE, DHS, and CBP agents leave our state immediately.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Finding a concealed weapon on someone being detained is not grounds for execution.
They say “where’s the gun?” — After the shots

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
