The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression bill looking for a problem that doesn't exist.
The goal is to sow confusion and make it harder to vote.

Rand Paul to ICE officials on moments before Pretti's killing: "No one in America believes that shoving that woman's face in the snow was deescalation."
Note that ICE officials then confirm it was improper for her to be thrown down.

The SAVE Act would require Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person just to register to vote.
Millions of Americans don’t have access to these documents. This is voter suppression, plain and simple.
Call your senators to urge them to vote no: (202) 224-3121

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!

Alex Pretti never brandished a gun. His firearm, for which he had a legal concealed-carry permit, was removed from his person and then, afterward, he was shot multiple times at point blank range in the back. This was an execution.
