Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.

Blanche and Vance have complained post-shooting that local law enforcement in Minnesota isn't helping ICE/CBP do their work. If that's accurate, it's called federalism, and it's an entirely lawful way for Minnesotans, through their government, to resist oppressive federal action.
WELKER: It appears Pretti was shot 10 times. He was pummeled & sprayed with gas. Why shouldn't every American be bothered by what they see?

Also they should ask exactly what "targeted operation" was (supposedly) going on. Who were they trying to detain, where was that person at the moment Pretti was killed, what was the role of these agents in that operation and how did Pretti "impede" it by filming them?

Correct. They are hanging their hat (or trying to) on 18 U.S.C. 111 as justification for detaining and arresting people. Apart from requiring force, the statute states that the federal officer is engaged in official duties. So what was the official function that is supposedly being impeded?

The DHS defense of Pretti's killing focuses on the existence of the gun. But look at everything that happened before the agents discovered the gun.
DHS agents escalated: macing and mercilessly beat Pretti as he tried to protect two people being assaulted. None of that was remotely acceptable.
