“This morning, on a street in #Minneapolis, at least seven federal agents tackled and then shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the local VA hospital.

Video from the scene shows #Pretti directing traffic on a street out of an area with agents around, then trying to help another person get up after she had been pushed to the ground by the agents.”

American citizens have been brutalized, pepper-sprayed, & killed on the streets of #Minneapolis. For many, one particular breakdown is a final, damning cause for despair: Minnesota’s apparent inability to investigate & potentially prosecute the #FederalAgents responsible. The #DHS on Saturday reportedly blocked #Minnesota officials from examining the scene of #AlexPretti’s #shooting. Access was refused even after #state officials got a #judicial search #warrant.

This morning in #Minneapolis and the surrounding #Minnesota suburbs there's been a sharp increase in #ICE abductions - breaking down doors to kidnap people from their homes, raids on restaurants, and violence against observers in south Minneapolis including breaking an observer's car window and deploying of chemical sprays.

This is 2 days after the beginning of the deployment of an additional 2,000 federal agents to the area - an intensification of the Trump admin's attacks on the Somali community here and upping of the stakes after thousands of locals have made our own deployments in the form of observers, noise demos, know-your-rights crews, and much more.

If you're in the #TwinCities area and aren't already pitching in to protect your neighbors, you need to do so: this is an escalation unlike any ICE activity seen in other cities so far. The number of homeland security agents in the Twin Cities now exceeds the number assigned to the entire state of Arizona.

If you're not local, MN needs your help. Intensify your action against la migra wherever you live; hold demonstrations against the companies that are supporting ICE (hotels, tech spy firms, defense contractors...) wherever you are. Throw wrenches in the gears. Spread them thin so they will regret their attempted occupation of this city.

As is standard everywhere in the US, Robbinsdale police allowed this violent abduction. They went a step further though and four days after the abduction released a statement, contradicted by witnesses and video, that "the individual being detained punched an agent in the face."

The person who wrote this statement for Robbinsdale PD, setting up #ICE's retaliatory charges, is almost certainly John Elder, former #Minneapolis PD spokesperson who lied about Derek Chauvin's murder of #GeorgeFloyd

Bureau of Criminal Apprehension arrives at #shooting scene after being turned away

More than 24 hours after a #CBP agent shot & killed #AlexPretti, personnel from #MNBCA have arrived at the scene.

#BCA staff are “canvassing & looking to collect whatever evidence may be there,” #Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said Sunday.

O’Hara said he requested the BCA to investigate immediately after the shooting, but “they were refused entry” by #federal agents.

#Trump lashes out at #ballroom lawsuit as top officials defend #Minneapolis #shooting

A phalanx of top Trump admin officials assembled across Sunday morning news shows to defend the #shooting of #AlexPretti, a US citizen in #Minneapolis by a federal #immigration agent. Trump’s attention, it appears, was elsewhere.

Trump launched a 448-word missive on social media lambasting a lawsuit launched at his sprawling ballroom addition.

#law #murder #ICE #CBP

"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 had 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."

"An FBI supervisor in Minneapolis resigned over concerns that the investigation into the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer was being steered by Trump administration officials to scrutinize Good and her partner rather than the officer’s actions, amid multiple prosecutor resignations, public protests, and escalating tensions between federal authorities and Minnesota officials."

RE: mastodon.social/@heidilifeldma…

If you have any bucks to spare, the need in #Minneapolis is going to skyrocket. grapevine.org/giving-circle/do… #MastodonForMinneapolis

I try not to discuss politics too often. I have filters to block it from my feed on Mastodon. But, murder is not politics and I cannot look away from this.

I have watched multiple angles of today's ICE murder in Minneapolis. I can't believe they are just murdering people in the streets for filming them. What this regime is doing is no different from what Iran is doing to their protestors.

They have already called the victim a domestic terrorist. He was standing there filming with his phone.

They walked up to him, shoved him, sprayed him with pepper spray, and then six agents beat him.

They claim he had weapon. Lets pretend ICE is being honest (even though the image of the weapon they posted was fake) about the weapon. Having a weapon is not illegal and it is not a terrorist act. If he pulled the weapon while he was being beaten by the six ICE agents, it would obviously be self defense.

What they did to that man is murder.

ICE are the terrorists. They are acting like the Gestapo.

The entire reason ICE exists is to investigate people who are in the US undocumented, which is not a crime. It is inhumane to give them weapons. It is inhumane to put people in concentration camps. It is inhumane to detain people without medical care.

I have resisted the urge to call this regime what it actually is up to this point. They are openly and proudly Nazis. It should not be taboo any longer to call them what they are.
