Trump Officials Declare Night Shift ICU Nurse a Terrorist, No Evidence Needed

KEY POINTS

  • On January 24, ICE agents fatally shot Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse at Minneapolis VA hospital, labeling him a domestic terrorist without evidence.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused Pretti of perpetuating violence during a 'violent riot,' blaming a governor she called corrupt.
  • Local law enforcement was denied access to the crime scene despite judicial warrants, while agents branded bystanders filming operations as domestic terrorists.

In a plot twist that feels like a Law & Order reboot gone off the rails, Homeland Security’s Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller have been hot on the scent of 'domestic terrorists'—specifically targeting Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old Minneapolis VA ICU nurse who was fatally shot by ICE agents on Jan 24. Despite having zero evidence of ideology, Noem confidently blamed a 'violent riot' and a corrupt 'irresponsible governor' for the chaos. Pretti's parents vehemently refuted these accusations, pointing out Alex was holding a phone, not a gun, and trying to protect others rather than perpetuate violence. Meanwhile, federal agents block local cops from investigating, add bystanders filming immigration raids to a 'nice little database' of terrorists, and accuse regular citizens of plotting coups one cameraphone at a time. Because why investigate when you can smear and subpoena your political enemies instead?
