UPDATE: Minnesota Department of Corrections puts out a statement refuting Bovino’s lies about the man they say they were arresting before they killed Alex Pretti.

The Trump regime’s lies are endless.

The most dangerous moment in any democracy's existence is when the faction in power realises that if they lose the next election, they're all going to prison.

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

We aren't even asking why ICE is even at these protests full of white ICU nurses and moms in vans. Like, why are they there? Looking for a Mexican drug gang in a suburban roundabout? Finding the secret foreign terror hiding in the trunk of a minivan?

They aren't even pretending to do […]

If Democrats in Congress want to fight Trump regime’s fascism, these four steps are a start.
1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.
2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.
3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.
4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

Alex Pretti was legally carrying and ALEX had no criminal record except for traffic violations‼️
Alex had a permit for his gun he had with him‼️Alex was an ICU nurse, Alex was attempting to help the women ICE shoved to the ground‼️

All blue states MUST immediately pass laws extending the castle doctrine and stand your ground laws to specifically cover ICE agents on your personal or commercial property without the presentment of a valid judicial warrant with a specific arrestee named. #safetyfirst

This is the US citizen ICE executed today in Minnesota.

Alex Pretti, ICU nurse and mountain climber.

They fired 12 times. 1, and then 3, and then the rest.

Shot him right in the back after he was beaten, pinned to the ground, and pistol-whipped.

Trump sanctioned execution.

It’s actually useful that they’re lying so brazenly about Alex Pretti’s killing because it shows how badly they were also lying about Renee Good, as most of us already knew.

I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, “Republicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”.

Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists.

Name them, record them, and make it public.
