"Another day, another dead Minnesotan. Shot in the street while getting pinned down by masked federal thugs. And Donald Trump and Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino wasted no time putting out narratives that don’t at all square with the videos we’re seeing. But who you gonna believe? Them, or your lyin’ eyes?"

Let the hard rain of justice rain down upon themMatt Labash (Slack Tide by Matt Labash)
"The incident was the third shooting by federal officers in Minneapolis in seventeen days, following the killing of Renée Good and the shooting of a Venezuelan man Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, and occurred amid mass protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)."

"RIP, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive-care nurse by trade. Intensive-care nurses, not typically being he most war-like people. And who the goon squad is already slandering as a 'domestic terrorist.' Yeah, I’m for stopping domestic terrorism, too. Which is why someone should arrest Stephen Miller, who takes demented pleasure in waging war on his own people. While prompting his corrupt boss to do the same."

"A New York Times video analysis shows [Alex Pretti] was holding a phone, not a gun, [when federal agents killed him]."

"An analysis by The New York Times found that several agents wrestled a man onto the sidewalk, one officer struck him with an object, and then ten shots were fired within five seconds."

"The Trump regime has murdered another citizen. And now they’re lying about it. The cover-up is in full swing. But we have the footage. From multiple angles. We’ve heard from multiple witnesses. And we have cameras on the ground, thanks to our partners at Status Coup."

Saturday Updates: Trump Regime Murders Another Citizen in Minneapolis — 1/24/26
Video evidence shows DHS is lying. Again.Ben Meiselas (Meidas+)
"Multiple witnesses were on scene. One described it to us as “an execution.” Within minutes, Minneapolis police moved to secure the area. They were blocked by federal agents. According to the Star Tribune, federal officers attempted to order local police away from the scene. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and instructed his officers to preserve the site."

"That refusal mattered, because video evidence from multiple angles began circulating almost immediately. The footage shows at least ten shots fired. It shows the victim’s hands appearing empty. It does not show him using a weapon, reaching for one, or threatening anyone. It shows a man shot to the ground and then shot again.
Federal officials quickly claimed the man threatened them with a gun. The videos do not support that claim."
#Minneapolis #Trump #ICE #DHS #MaskedThugs #murder
/21
"If the man was armed, the footage suggests the weapon was holstered. That is consistent with what Minneapolis police have already said publicly: the victim is believed to have been a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry. At no point in the available video does he brandish or point a weapon."
#Minneapolis #Trump #ICE #DHS #MaskedThugs #murder
/22
"Video analysis disproves the entire Trump regime’s narrative. Freeze frames show agents firing as the victim recoils. Other frames show an agent pressing a gun into the victim’s chest while shots continue. The man’s hands remain visible and empty. The claim that this was a necessary response to an imminent threat is contradicted by the visual record."

"In graphic video now circulating on social media, six federal agents appear to wrestle the man to the ground in front of the New American Development Center. One of the agents hits the man three times with what appears to be a firearm."

Federal Immigration Agents Shoot and Kill Another Person in Minneapolis
Video taken by bystanders shows agents wrestling the man to the ground and beating him before firing multiple shots.Madison McVan (Truthout)
"Bystanders are surrounding the group and filming on their cell phones.
Over 10 shots can be heard in the video, but it’s unclear if more than one agent fired a weapon."

"Open carry is legal in Minnesota. The videos I have seen do not support the idea that he was trying to shoot ICE agents.
We also know that ICE tried to prevent local law enforcement from securing the scene and collecting evidence. ...
The simple truth is that none of this would have happened if Trump had not sent thousands of out-of-control, masked agents to terrorize people in an American city."

"Zeteo spoke with two doctors who knew the victim to shed light on the man whom federal agents senselessly killed on Saturday.
'He was just a super nice guy, a super capable nurse,' Dimitri Drekonja, a doctor who knew and worked alongside Pretti, told Zeteo. 'And we are in a worse place for him being killed.'”

Colleagues Remember Alex Pretti, DHS Shooting Victim in Minneapolis
Two doctors share their memories of Alex Pretti, a nurse who is the latest victim of Trump’s violent immigration raids in Minneapolis.Prem Thakker (Zeteo)
"Pretti worked as a nurse in an intensive care unit. In 2017, he was hired to support a Veterans Affairs medical trial, later moving on to work in critical-care nursing, according to the doctors who brought him on board. …
Dr. Aasma Shaukat, who co-led the trial with Drekonja, echoed the sentiment. 'He was just so sincere and very kind, just a sweet young man and eager to learn,' she told Zeteo."

"Again we have an ICE killing in which the Department of Homeland Security gets a story out first which, on its face, appears to describe an armed civilian in the process of committing a massacre of federal law enforcement officers. …
As now happens 100% of the time, these early DHS narratives are willfully absurd and don’t survive contact with abundant video evidence emerging from the scene."

"My best current understanding is that the dead man, Alex Pretti, 37, was legally carrying a licensed firearm and was at the scene in some sort of observer status or perhaps there to place himself between ICE agents and those they were trying to assault or arrest. Video evidence seems to show clearly Pretti never brandished his firearm and actually used clear non-confrontation signals in his engagement with ICE agents."

Huge turnout against #ICE and #DHS, #protest/ #generalStrike in #Minneapolis #Minnesota yesterday
International observers and even some domestic observers:
You may ask why Americans aren't doing more
And I agree
But much is being done that you don't see because a lot going on is purposefully deemphasized in the #USA #newsmedia
Btw, this was in -10 F (-20 C) weather
Republicans are responsible for citizens being executed in the streets.

"And that just looked like a flat out execution. I mean, even if the man was trying to struggle, even if as early... early reports from DHS are that he had a gun.
There's just no way that he could have, with that many people on top of him, really be a threat that would justify that kind of use of force."

"One of the agents then pulled a gun and shot him repeatedly. That individual has now been taken to the hospital and pronounced dead."
Mary McCord then says that though all the information is not yet in,
"Just based on the video that I saw, I saw, I don't know, six or eight agents on top of a man on the ground and then shots fired and the man prone on the ground."

Because much commentary is now being posted about the killing of a man in Minneapolis today by armed and masked federal agents, and because my previous thread about this today has grown long, I'm starting a separate thread about this now.
"There is some dispute now whether that was ICE or Customs and Border Patrol, wrestling an individual to the ground. He appeared to be motionless."

When I posted yesterday on social media about the use of Liam as bait by ICE, a young blond woman (so her profile photo shows her to be) whom I don't even know responsed with a laughing emoji and informed me that Liam and his father are pieces of s—t who deserve everything coming to them.
Evil.

"The only people who support ice tactics are whose who are willfully evil."
This is what Jess Piper concludes as a mother for 30 years who has raised five children, as she looks at the photos of little five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos being used as "bait" by ICE to entrap his family before he and his father are kidnapped and whisked away to Texas.
Evil.

"Right now feels impossible, and unfortunately there's a lot of impossible still to come. There's no fast fix, no one easy trick to defeating #fascism.
But.
But honestly I've never felt more hopeful that we actually have what it takes. That we can do the impossible, even when it seems insurmountable.
Because what it takes is us."

"Around 200 faith leaders fanned out across the city on Thursday (Jan. 22) to observe and document the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with some clergy confronting Department of Homeland Security agents, adding a visible religious presence to widespread efforts to counter the president’s mass deportation campaign in the region."

"Trump’s approval on immigration has dropped to 44% approve / 53% disapprove (net -9), and his deportation policy is at 42% / 54% (net -12). Border security remains his only positive issue at 50% / 46% (net +4). Trump’s numbers on all three have declined since our last poll in October, 2025."

"Lunas Campos died of asphyxiation after guards put pressure on his neck and chest during an altercation during which Lunas Campos asked for his medication. Two detainees testified that they saw guards choking Lunas Campos, who repeatedly told them he couldn’t breathe. The Trump administration has since tried to deport the two witnesses."
