Also they should ask exactly what "targeted operation" was (supposedly) going on. Who were they trying to detain, where was that person at the moment Pretti was killed, what was the role of these agents in that operation and how did Pretti "impede" it by filming them?

Trump’s Goons Are the Terrorists. This Is What We Must Do Now
In the wake of a CBP agent’s killing of VA nurse Alex Petti, it’s clear that halfway measures, aggrieved speeches, and strongly worded letters are no longer adequate.

The video is harrowing.
6-8 ICE agents piled on Pretti.
One of them starts pistol-whipping him in the face.
Then a shot rings out.
The one with the gun unloads repeatedly into Pretti.
Then a 2nd ICE shooter stepped back from his lifeless body and shot him 5-6 more times.
Absolute savagery.

Setting aside the fuzzy question of what does or doesn't need Senate treaty ratification, the "Board of Peace" doesn't seem to be an agreement to which the United States as such is a party at all. It's just in his personal capacity as some random guy.

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents.
But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy.
