Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

When reading the physician's sworn statement under penalty of perjury on shocking denial of medical care to Alex Pretti ⬇️
Remember Kristi Noem's statement earlier today: "Medics were on the scene immediately and attempted to deliver medical aid to the subject."

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment
"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.
At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

ICE's corporate backers want the same thing as the federal agents killing people in the streets. They want us to look the other way while they hurt our neighbors for profit.
Thank you to all who showed up to Citizens Bank actions in frigid temps to let them know: that is *not* going to happen.

NYT video review confirms this. Pretti had a 2nd Am right to carry a firearm. But even if he didn’t he wasn’t pointing it at anyone or threatening agents. There is no legal justification for the execution-style shooting & no basis for DHS’s claim he was there to massacre them. He was a helper.
Brandishing is a legal term that means to display all or part of a firearm, or otherwise make its presence known to another person to intimidate them, regardless of whether it's directly visible to that person. Given the video, that's not what Alex Pretti was doing when he was shot & killed.
Important context, this is the victim’s behavior BEFORE being tackled
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming

It just get worse. Instead of administering CPR to a man who might still be alive, DHS officers were leering over the body, counting the bullet holes.

The killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti show Trump's DHS culture is rotten to its core.
Trump, Vance, Noem, & Miller have made these agents feel immune from the consequences of their actions.
That must change. Everyone involved in these operations must be held accountable.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

This is how fascism comes to America. It’s the endless events, day after day, until one day you wake up in a different country. Anti-immigrant rhetoric, censorship, attacks on universities, masked terror squads murdering people in the streets, enemy lists, denaturalization, camps

Today, out-of-control masked federal agents killed another American, Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse.
Trump needs to end this chaos and withdraw his ICE battalions from Minneapolis.
The Senate must vote down funding this slaughter of our people.

“Shot dead” is passive. “murdered” names the actor. Words matter, especially when the state is pulling the trigger.

I was trained by the FBI in 92 in tactics, weapons, crowd control etc etc for my work overseas as a United States Marine at US Embassies.
What I am watching, witnessing is NOT what or how I was trained in what is called 'The progression of force'.
That policy is nowhere to be seen. 1/2

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article)
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Early DHS spin (via Fox News) is that the person shot repeatedly by Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis was armed -- note that open carrying firearms is legal with a permit and notably, they are not (yet at least) claiming that the person fired or even brandished a gun, just had one.
