The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

🔥MINNESOTA MAN to @stoneskynews.bsky.social : “The mood is anger. We’re angry with our federal government for invading us for no good reason other than Trump wasn’t backed here— it’s a violent, brutal fascist administration. Trump’s a terrible bully. We’re defending this place against him.”

Dandiya: So, my district—where I was born and raised, District 21—has had Brian Mast in the seat since 2016.
For many years now, there’s been a growing disconnect between his leadership and the people who elected him—who he should be working for.

ICE officers began forcibly entering homes without judicial warrants last summer.
An internal document — dated May 12, 2025, but just made public by two whistleblowers — told officers they could rely on an administrative warrant to enter homes if there was an order to remove someone from the U.S.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara tells CBS he has received no cooperation or official info from the federal government.
"Even when our officers initially responded to the scene, our watch commander was not given even the most basic information that is typical in a law enforcement-involved shooting."

This administration can’t have it both ways.
They can’t already be calling Alex Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and also say there is an “ongoing investigation.”
They are lying.
Do not let them convince you not to believe what you saw with your own eyes.

Alex Pretti was a VA ICU nurse. Colleagues remember him as kind, warm, and caring.
He was a beloved son, brother, friend, and neighbor.
ICE agents murdered him in cold blood. In broad daylight.
And then they had the gall—the sheer, evil audacity—to call *him* a domestic terrorist. (1/3)

Second direct witness to Alex Pretti's killing comes forward.
Court declaration:
"I saw him yelling at the ICE agents, but I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind.
Suddenly, an ICE agent shoved him to the ground."
