"They killed him because they wanted to kill him. It was the gun that gave them the excuse...I don’t care what kind of weaponry you own. I don’t care how much of it you own. When the government decides to kill you, they’re not going to have a problem doing so."

Good Guy With a Gun
I’m going to ask the question nobody on my side wants to ask because doing so risks blaming an innocent victim for his own murder: why was Alex Pretti carrying a handgun?

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.
An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

Trump on the killing of Alex Pretti:
"You know, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. Can't walk into this. You can't do that."

ICE pointed guns at a retired couple in a church lot and lied. No warrant. No rights. Just terror.
PAXIS tells us that’s unconstitutional. You have the right to remain silent, see a judicial warrant, and not open the church door.
PAXIS holds that line. Learn more & support: www.paxis.app

BREAKING: Trump's Justice Department has determined there will be no civil rights investigation into the death of Alex Pretti, and that the CBP office will investigate whether its own officers followed agency policy and DHS will investigate Pretti.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

ICE is riddled with sex criminals.
A January 2026 report by the Pacific Antifascist Research Collective identified 30 ICE and CBP agents with documented convictions and arrests, some for serious violent and sexual crimes.
At least 20 committed offenses with underage victims.

The current position of the Republicans in Congress: They would change nothing that ICE and CBP are doing, and they'd allow massive increases in funding for what they're now doing to go ahead. They're just fine with the current policies, practices, and governance of ICE and CBP.
