This was Alex Pretti at work at the VA honoring a veteran who had passed.
This is who they're trying to falsely smear as a terrorist and assassin.

It’s notable that eyewitness accounts perfectly match video evidence while DHS claims describe events completely refuted by video
A sworn eyewitness of the Pretti murder files a detailed sworn account about what happened in federal court. Devastating testimony against the DHS agents. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Minnesota deserves a better Governor.
Q: Are you willing to use every lever of power including a government shutdown to stop what's happening here?
KLOBUCHAR: Right now we're focused on getting ICE out of the state. Of course we will use every lever, but I do remind people that Trump runs the WH and sadly also seems to run Congress

I keep thinking about how he was a federal employee too. Even that doesn’t stand in the way of the vicious posthumous defamation from Trump admin mouthpieces.
New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

Just a reminder. Even though they are cosplay soldiers dressing up in tactical gear and weapons and camo, they are just regular government employees. They can give 2 weeks notice, cash out their vacation and sick leave and just go.
Their choice.

Where are the resignations from ICE and CBP??? I guarantee you there are at least *some* who know this is wrong but arectaking the path of least resistance (“following orders”). They need to step down and speak up

NJ-11 candidate Analilia Mejia released a statement torching both House leadership for failing to whip and the 7 traitors for actually voting for it, if you're in the district and still undecided
I have yet to see any of the House Dems who voted against DHS funding condemn their 7 colleagues who voted for it, or call out leadership for failing to whip up a unified front of opposition.

He was an ICU nurse just like me and they fucking executed him while he was trying to do what is right.
I am at work in the ICU as I type this and am seething with rage.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

This is a major escalation into authoritarianism. They are afraid a principled FBI agent might not keep to the company line. So we are left with kabuki theater.
