All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.

The next could be you.

What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.

This is personal — to every one of us.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Alex Pretti was executed for protecting a woman who was being attacked by an ICE agent. ICE agents are not “undertrained.” This is their training. Watch the video. Do not look away. Do not believe the regime’s lies. Do not accept this. Call your representative and senators (202) 224-3121

Maine is reeling from ICE’s latest assault. Those incarcerated, and their families, need our support.

I’m asking you, if you have anything to spare, to consider contributing to the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition.

See reply for link, and please spread this far and wide.

At this very moment ICE is dragging Mainers out of their homes, terrorizing communities across the state. They're calling it "Operation Catch of the Day."

It is disgusting.

Maine will fight. We will fight for our neighbors and for the people we love.
