Alex Pretti was a Minneapolis ICU nurse who spent his days caring for and saving others. Today, he was shot and killed by a Border Patrol Agent. Alex’s life was extinguished by state violence. We must tell the truth about what is happening.

My father warned us, “When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind.”

What we are witnessing now (masked raids, people taken without due process, vigilante, Gestapo, and slave patrol-like tactics normalized under the color of law) is a moral crisis.

Nonviolence demands more than outrage; it demands action.

Congress must dismantle ICE; enact just, humane immigration policies; and ensure implementation of the policies by people who honor the humanity of Black and Brown immigrants, respect those raising their voices in support of immigrants, and seek the safety of community.

The blood of those who are being kidnapped and unjustly killed by agents with impunity is not only on the hands of those who pull the trigger, but on every lawmaker and every court that has the power to intervene and chooses silence.

Creating the Beloved Community requires truth, accountability, and the courage to act before more lives are lost.

Actually I think this one is one of the most important and overlooked.

After being pepper sprayed, he and the two women tried to crawl away.

ICE grabbed him, hoist him to his feet and drag him back into a struggle.

He was literally FLEEING.

Doesn’t get much clearer than this

Imagine this in a trial.

Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing

Declaration filed in federal court:

"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

JUST IN: Plaintiffs in the lawsuit to restrict ICE’s use of force in Minnesota filed an emergency motion with the 8th circuit court of appeals tonight to reinstate those restrictions.

It included this affidavit from a person who witnessed today’s shooting:

NEW: Another declaration you have to read! Alex Pretti was shot near the apartment of a doctor, who saw the shooting occur and rushed to provide emergency aid as he lay dying on the street.

They describe what they saw: "The victim had at least three bullet holes in his back."

1/12

Frame by frame breakdown of this MURDER shows ICE is lying!

-ICE had ALREADY disarmed the man before shooting.

-The man NEVER drew his gun.

At the 0:06 second mark we see the man’s hands on the ground covered in large gloves.

His hands are empty.

Federal agents are executing citizens and celebrating it.

This is what MAGA has done to our country.
