When Border Patrol shot two immigrants in Portland, they claimed they had ties to gangs. The Guardian later wrote a story exposing those claims as a smear campaign, but the narrative was regurgitated by city leadership that took DHS at their word.

Hey, look nothing has changed in 15 days except Alex Pretti’s death is “under investigation” by DOJ.
As of right now, ICE is fully funded, Renee Good’s death remains without an investigation, Alex Pretti’s death is under investigation by DHS(?), Kristi Noem has not been impeached, and as of right now, ICE is still in Minnesota. Keep pushing, folks.
The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.
