If you’re looking to understand who Alex Pretti was, look no further than this video where he honors a veteran who has passed away.
He was not a domestic terrorist.
He was a good man and a hero.
(video pulled on X)

BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts.
From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.

Videos show dozens of incidents of immigration agents using life-threatening tactics.
In nearly 20 cases, agents appear to use neck restraints that the Department of Homeland Security prohibits unless there is a threat of deadly or serious harm.

Before ICE, I never realized how much of "keeping the public safe" involved wrecking cars.
ICE just crashed a car at my intersection (due to their own shitty driving) and immediately got out and tear gassed observers.
