Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE.
He was a Good Samaritan — and they murdered him for it. Now they’re trying to rewrite his history. They want to smear him. To dehumanize him.
Don’t let them.
Alex Pretti’s last words: “Don’t touch her!”
“Are you okay?”
Renee Good’s last words:
“I’m really not mad at you dude…”
And this administration wants you to believe these fellow Americans were “domestic terrorists.”
This must end. Abolish ICE.
Minnesota believes in law and order. We believe in peace. And we believe that Trump needs to pull his 3,000 untrained agents out of Minnesota before they kill another American in the street.
As @ReichlinMelnick says - Kilmar was not “validated” MS-13. This is a lie based on witnesses with a lot to gain (shorter sentences etc), the Tennessee judge did not buy it
They also said he brought his kids on cross-country smuggling rides multiple times weekly. (1 has autism)
Bronze Star Recipient @GovWesMoore calls out “small government” Republicans👌🏻with Trump’s huge overreach, says he’s lying about funding the bridge repair (Congress/Biden did)

Pretty pathetic for @RepJohnRose to still be ducking town halls even as he insists on a debate with @MarshaBlackburn as he seeks to be our next governor.🪑🐔

BREAKING: Massive bombshell drops in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal drops as it's revealed that the White House believes that Ghislaine Maxwell is attempting to blackmail Donald Trump — right as he appears to be considering a pardon for her.
This whole thing is unfolding like a slow motion train wreck...
"In the White House, they believe that the story in The Wall Street Journal about the birthday greeting that Donald Trump, the salacious birthday greeting, that Donald Trump sent Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 on the occasion of his 50th birthday was a leak from the Maxwell family," revealed journalist Michael Wolff.
"And in the White House they regard it as 'a shot across the bow,'" Wolff continued. "So, a threat, that Ghislaine had damaging material on Donald Trump so Donald Trump's lawyer who — as it happens is also the number two in the Justice Department — but principally is Donald Trump's own lawyer, went down and I expect, to try to figure out exactly what Ghislaine Maxwell has and then they would figure out how they might have to handle that."
Last week, MAGA Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Maxwell for six hours at the U.S. attorney's office in Tallahassee, Florida. The meeting came amidst growing calls from members of Congress for Maxwell to testify to about her Jeffrey Epstein's operations.
Blanche was Trump's former personal attorney and represented him in his New York felony case. If Trump needed a bagman to conduct secret negotiations with Maxwell under the guise of official state business, Blanche is the man he would send.
Trump is currently suing the Journal for reporting on the birthday book compiled by Maxwell for Epstein. Trump allegedly penned a bizarre message in it about "enigmas" and secrets, drew a naked woman, and signed his name. It's entirely conceivable that Maxwell leaked knowledge of the book to spook Trump into pardoning her. It's possible that she has more, even more damaging blackmail information on him but will agree to keep it concealed in return for a pardon.
It should be noted that Maxwell has long been cited as evidence of Epstein's supposed link to intelligence agencies, in no small part because her father Robert Maxwell had known connections to British MI6, Soviet KGB, and Israeli Mossad.
Wolff previously reported that Trump considered pardoning Maxwell during his first term in the White House. According to him Trump became "very wary" after Maxwell was arrested in July 2020 for helping Epstein to operate his vast and monstrous child sex-trafficking ring.
After her arrest, Trump began asking “What could she say—what would she say?"
Trump's friendship with Epstein is well-documented. He called the billionaire pedophile a "terrific guy" and Wolff said that they were "two guys joined at the hip for a good 15 years.”
"They did everything together," said Wolff. "And this is from sharing, pursuing women, hunting women, sharing at least one girlfriend for at least a year, and this kind of rich-guy relationship with each other’s planes.”
"I dare say they kind of loved each other. These were brothers in arms for a long time," he added.
"Everybody around him was kind of like, ‘God, we hope she won’t say anything, but we really hope he doesn’t pardon her,’” said Wolff.
Ultimately, Trump didn't go through with the pardon. However, when he was asked about Maxwell during his first term he had nothing but kind words for her.
"I just wish her well, frankly. I’ve met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach,” Trump said. "I wish her well, whatever it is."
Maxwell's attorney has already stated that the president has the "power" to pardon his client and added that he hopes Trump "exercises that power in a right and just way."
Trump himself has said that he's "allowed to do it" but claimed that he hasn't "thought about" it.
Maxwell is currently serving 20 years in prison for sex trafficking, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, and two conspiracy charges. Pardoning her would not only be a grave insult to her victims and a profound betrayal of the rule of law, it would announce to the world that the President of the United States is a blackmailed sexual predator. The evidence to that effect is already compelling as it is.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you strongly oppose pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell!
Wolff: I was sitting talking to Epstein and he said, “Wait a minute, I gotta show you something.” And then he went into his safe and he came out with photographs.
I think there were a dozen of them. And it was Trump with girls of an uncertain age in Epstein's Palm Beach house, where all of the things that he would ultimately be accused of took place. And I remember very vividly three of them. There are two in which the topless girls are sitting on Trump’s lap—and then a third in which he has a stain on the front of his pants.
🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING WSJ:
The Department of Justice told Trump in May that his name is IN the Epstein Files.
When Justice Department officials reviewed what Attorney General Pam Bondi called a “truckload” of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year, they discovered that Donald Trump’s name appeared multiple times, according to senior administration officials.
In May, Bondi and her deputy informed the president at a meeting in the White House that his name was in the Epstein files, the officials said. Many other high-profile figures were also named, Trump was told.
