"In response, the NRA posted: 'This sentiment … is dangerous and wrong. Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens.'
Gun Owners of America, a non-profit lobbying organization, also criticized that claim from Essayli – who is now an acting first assistant US attorney for California’s central federal district court."

"The NRA waded into the national dialogue over Pretti’s killing after Bill Essayli – who was appointed by Trump to temporarily serve as a US attorney in California in 2025 – posted on social media: 'If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you.'”

"Those same sources told Fox there is no indication he meant to kill agents and believe the shooting will likely be deemed a 'bad shoot' driven by split-second decisions in a chaotic moment. Several described DHS’s messaging as a disaster for crisis management that has worsened the situation, eroded trust, and cost the agency support, even as they continue to back the administration’s broader immigration agenda."

"Multiple federal immigration enforcement sources, including senior officials, told Fox News that DHS has damaged its credibility and internal morale by publicly exaggerating claims that Alex Pretti intended a 'massacre,' despite video evidence showing he never drew his weapon."

"Fox’s Bill Melugin, one of the administration’s favorite reporters, wrote, 'I’m told there is extreme frustration with DHS officials going on TV and putting out statements claiming that Alex Pretti was intending to conduct a "massacre" of federal agents or wanted to carry out "maximum damage," even after numerous videos appeared to show those claims were inaccurate.'”

"Calls for an investigation have come from across the political spectrum after video analysis showed officers had removed a handgun from Pretti that he was reportedly permitted to carry – and which he was not handling – before fatally shooting him on Saturday. Trump officials, meanwhile, are continuing to lie about what happened."

"Donald Trump is reportedly 'furious' with the way the Department of Homeland Security has handled the events in Minnesota over the past several weeks. He is not upset with the immigration enforcement activities. Rather, he is upset that Americans are seeing them."

"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."

Some video from yesterday
I don't know how many people. I've seen 50k, 100k, 150k chatted about on social media
Of course the media is only saying "thousands"
Again this is -10 F/ -20 C
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
"We all saw the video. ICE Agent Jonathan Ross shot at Renee Good from the left side of her vehicle, after Ross was no longer in any (alleged) danger of being run over. A private autopsy confirmed that Renee was shot in the left side of the head—a wound that confirms what we all saw on the video."

#DOJ "refusing to investigate Ms. Good’s death...
But the real explanation may be more sinister. Since she was killed, we’ve seen multiple videos in which #immigration officers refer to her death to threaten people lawfully observing or recording them. The real motivation appears to be to make all the other Renee Goods out there, the liberal “wine moms” watching over immigration raids, wonder if they might be next."

"But it’s not a tragedy when you spend a decade telling lies about immigrants to win political power that you then use to fund a masked paramilitary force to hunt people based on their race and the language they speak. It’s not a tragedy when one of those crusaders kills someone who objects to the assault on their community."

"But this is not a tragedy.
A tragedy is a house catching fire when its inhabitants are asleep. It is an earthquake in a dense urban area that kills hundreds of unsuspecting people. It’s a tornado that strikes without any possible warning."

Bishop William J. Barber II and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove note that Trump is changing his tune about the murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis. He initially labeled her a domestic terrorist and suggested she got what was coming to her.
Now he's speaking of her murder as "a tragedy."

"A family-commissioned autopsy found that Renee Good was shot three times—including a fatal head wound—by an officer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during a Minneapolis encounter, sharply contradicting federal claims of self-defense from the Department of Homeland Security and prompting an ongoing investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation amid criticism from state and local leaders."

"David Rudovsky, a University of Pennsylvania law professor, also noted the similarities. 'I think about the civil rights movement in the South and how Southern law enforcement reacted with hoses, dogs and lynchings,' he said.
Images of Birmingham’s police dogs sinking their teeth into protesters shocked the world. The aggressive conduct of federal agents in Minneapolis has also raised alarm, particularly following the shooting death of Ms. Good."
"Ms. [Michele] Goodwin was one of several legal scholars and criminal justice experts who said the conduct of ICE agents during Operation Metro Surge, the government’s name for its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, evoked the attacks by police officers in Birmingham, Ala., on civil rights protesters in 1963."
