Alex Pretti tried to warn his neighbours a week before his death.

He was tackled by agents & left with a broken rib

The angry mob knew who he was

They knew his face

They killed him less a week later

Noem always says they’re carrying out “targeted enforcement”… sounds like they targeted Alex.

They just executed a man in Minneapolis for being armed. He never raised his gun at ICE. They removed it from his waistband and then shot him on the ground multiple times‼️

TACO ?
The administration is "deeply frustrated"? To my mind, Noem/Bovino carried out what the White House wanted (see statements from Miller absolving ICE and smearing Good and Pretti), and now that its backfired, they are being used by Trump as scapegoats to absolve the WH of accountability.
Dont forget.
BREAKING: Bovino is leaving MN: "Administration officials were left deeply frustrated this weekend over how Bovino and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem handled the fallout from the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis." www.cnn.com/us/live-news...
