The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

WASHINGTON - Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement:
"Yesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer.
"Today, we demand accountability.
"In the immediate aftermath of Alex's killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a
"domestic terrorist." Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America's veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota.
"Our demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex's needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.

It simply wasn't in the training manuals.

Two ICE agents, one badly injured and bleeding,
didn't get any help from the Minneapolis police.
How does that make you feel?

There's a highly qualified nurse who could have helped, but
he was shot by ICE. If you want medical aid, don't kill the
medical aid.

Trump’s tariffs, threats, and isolationist chaos are uniting the world against the U.S.—driving higher costs, job losses, and economic pain at home.

PSA! 📢 The dept of Ed is planning to reclassify nursing, counseling, social work, & other degrees from "professional" to "graduate." This would cut in HALF the amount of loans students can take out & would undermine these vital, women-dominated fields. Sign to join the fight app.sosha.ai/s/kqTIWb2L
