Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

The man murdered by ICE in Minneapolis, Minnesota while he bravely shielded women from being brutally attacked by Trump regime thugs has been identified as Alex Pretti.
He was a US citizen, a registered nurse, an athlete, a son, a brother, and a hero. The regime murdered him. #3E #GoodVsEvil

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

The killings will continue until you give us the state voter rolls
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

He was trying to help someone else they'd knocked to the ground. And for that they started pepper spraying him. And then the pistol whipped him and murdered him.
He was a nurse. Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

“We’re asking.” Sounds a lot like January 6th. People kept asking him to call off the rioters. (Ivanka, Hannity). He didn’t want to. He liked what he was seeing. He did finally, but he took too long to stop it…

U.S. citizen Matthew Allen brutally arrested in Minneapolis as his wife Sarah Allen watches in horror. She explains to a clergy member comforting her, they were both running away from the tear gas & he was arrested. Heartbreaking to hear & watch. This happened within hours of the killing of a man.💔

Minneapolis, Minnesota is under occupation by the United States government. ICE agents are executing U.S. citizens.

There are at least half a dozen ICE Gestapo grappling with the victim, a man, who is squirming as they lower him to the sidewalk.
Then one of the Nazis appears to pistol whip him several times in the face.
And then shots, plural.
He stops moving; Nazis scatter, back away.
