The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

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."

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇
There you have it.
ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.
It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

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.
White. Hot. Rage.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I’m so sick to my stomach and furious that another person was murdered by ICE today. They are tax funded terrorists kidnapping children and murdering good people. It’s about time they get prosecuted by Minnesota, they must be held accountable. This week has been heartbreaking and enraging 💔😭
JUST IN: Gov. Tim Walz just announced that Minnesota will prosecute the ICE officers responsible for violence against Minnesota citizens - including today’s murder of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis.

HORRIBLE. ICE is targeting children. This isn’t a distraction from the Epstein files, it’s directly connected. This is state sponsored kidnapping, child trafficking, and torture. This is evil.
they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child.
ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents.
the family is here legally.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.
