Trump’s ICE Agents Shoot First, Ask ‘Was There a Gun?’ Later
KEY POINTS
- •Alex Pretti was fatally shot by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis shortly after another killing in the city on January 7.
- •The family of Alex Pretti denies he was armed, contradicting Trump administration claims and fueling nationwide protests.
- •Despite deadly criticisms, the House voted to increase ICE funding, intensifying tensions between local officials and federal agents.
In an episode that reads like a mistranslated cop drama, Alex Pretti was fatally shot by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis—no gun in sight, family claims, defying Trump’s ICE spin. This tragedy came just weeks after 37-year-old Renee Good was killed on January 7 by another federal agent in the same city, both cases sparking nationwide protests louder than a FAILED Tweetstorm. The White House still insists Good was a 'domestic terrorist' aiming a car, proving new definitions of ’terrorism’ now include suspicious driving. Meanwhile, Congress pushed billions more to ICE, seemingly rewarding skillful mayhem with cash. Alex’s family called the ICE thugs 'murdering and cowardly,' turning DOJ press releases into punchlines.
