"How will you say 'no' this week when an appropriations bill is going to be considered? Will you contact your representatives? Will you ask them, for the love of God and the love of human beings... to vote against renewing funding for such a lawless organization?"

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

I’m out here in Los Angeles, where hundreds have gathered in response to the ICE execution of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Chants and speeches underway here outside the Federal Building in DTLA. Working multiple cameras today so posts may be sparse

Kristi Noem and DHS don’t want us to see this video.

📌 Alex was disarmed BEFORE he was shot. This was murder.

Two weeks ago I wrote about the risk of Trump using his NSPM-7 memo to treat citizens exercising their rights like terrorists. Now it’s a reality. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

If the government executing us in the streets isn’t your red line, then you’ve already decided to endorse it.

There’s no gray area left. No ambiguity.

New Rule: Anti-Ice protestors don’t have 2nd Amendment rights (or really, any rights)
On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were both American citizens.

Both were shot and killed by Donald Trump’s federal agents.
ICE's latest victim has been identified as 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti of south Minneapolis.

He was a U.S. citizen.

We stand with Minnesota today and every single day. ICE is terrorizing our communities. We must call our members of Congress and urge them to stop funding ICE.

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

This is why it’s so important to see all the video you can before making a judgement (looking at you DHS). Video appears to show the victim trying to protect another person & being pulled down by agents. There needs to be a credible investigation, not one by CBP/ICE www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

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.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
