WOW! 👏Philly DA Larry Krasner:
“This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis in a country of 350 million. We outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will. We will find you. We will achieve justice.”

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

He died because he stepped forward instead of away, because he put himself between human beings and monsters who wanted to hurt them, because he did the thing we teach, the thing we praise, the thing we raise our children to believe still matters.

DHS: ‘Trust us, he was no choir boy’

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

They say “where’s the gun?” — After the shots

Because they don’t realize one of them had already taken it — before the shots

It appears he was zip-tied when murdered. It also sounds like the agents (CBP) saw quickly this was an unjustified shooting. The shooter should be charged—but remember that statements by Bovino and Miller on quotas and immunity, and Noem cutting training by 60%, helped produce this nightmare.

Alex Pretti was murdered while trying to protect a woman from being assaulted by federal agents
TW ⚠️

This is the pink jacket lady’s angle. (From Drop Site News)

Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar.

Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

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.

DHS is just putting out propaganda to cover up that their officer once again murdered a US citizen.

They’re putting out their narrative but can’t answer a single question about details because the details we can see on video contradict everything they’re saying.

A new video appears to show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis, with the individual appearing to simply record on his phone as agents escalated the situation.
