Reporters should be asking congressional Republicans what *other* kinds of Americans they think deserve to be executed in the street by the president's goon squad.

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.
Holy crap.
This is the most damning video yet.
It shows Border Patrol agents clearly taking Alex's firearm, running it away, and THEN executed him in cold blood by emptying a clip into his face.

NYT says ICE shot him in the back:
An “agent aims his own firearm at Mr. Pretti’s back and appears to fire one shot at close range… A third agent unholsters a weapon. Both agents appear to fire additional shots into Mr. Pretti as he lies motionless… At least 10 shots appear to have been fired…”

You know this new FAA notice from Jan 16th that appears to prohibit drone flights within 3000 feet of ICE/DHS?
Well, me and a number of others have been trying for days, and we've still heard *nothing* back from official government sources who might be able to clarify what this means in practice.

Just noticed this new FAA NOTAM from Jan 16th, which prohibits drone operators from flying within 3000 feet laterally or 1000 feet above DHS, DOD, and DOE "facilities and mobile assets, including ground vehicle convoys and their associated escorts."

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it.
Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)
