Tuesday night, protesters packed the City Council meeting in Surprise, Arizona, over a proposed ICE detention center. You need to hear what this man told the Council.
A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
TODAY: Hundreds of thousands in Minnesota braved -10°F weather to march through downtown Minneapolis as part of the statewide general strike demanding ICE out of the Twin Cities.
Detaining people at ICE check-ins became part of the Trump administration’s strategy for mass deportations, in contrast with Trump’s comments that agents would pursue “the worst of the worst always first.”

@The_Oddsmaker What are your overall historical numbers on the "longest" whatever? Those are the only times I'm skeptical, seem like extreme variance and difficult to project.
