Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

Thanks to CNN airing Kayla Schultz’s video of Pretti’s killing in higher resolution we have the best face shots of the first and main shooter— and in addition to the Texas flag it’s been noted he wears on the back, he also wears a vertical Texas flag in front.

There are Border Patrol agents involved in recent violent incidents in Minneapolis with badges and hats for everything from Texas to Thailand, the New York Yankees to the Arizona Wildcats...these guys are from all over

4/4 out of the shooters of Martinez, Pretti and Good are current or former Border Patrol agents
I think it’s nice ICE is the proxy for immigration enforcement reform, but pretty clear border patrol has become a lawless mess over several more lawless administrations and we need to rebuild that from the ground up even more urgently than ICE

The Border Patrol agent who shot Marimar Martinez and joked about putting seven bullet holes in her in text messages is a 23-year-veteran of Border Patrol.

Before Maine, Charles Exum was stationed at Alamogordo, New Mexico, where he won a nationwide police shooting contest.

More images of this agent “NS-919,” one of two who shot Pretti and a main instigator of the Pretti incident— from January 21.

NS-919 pushed the woman that started the Pretti violence on January 24.

Here are two agents who appear to be the same ones from the day Pretti was killed, in a clear video from MPR news, where you can hear them talk, on Jan 21. This shows NS-909 and NS-919 who may be one of the agents who shot Pretti.

A Trump-appointed district judge described the conditions of ICE detainees with no criminal history held in a temporary cell in the Central Islip federal courthouse on Long Island for days — putrid, cramped, inhumane and unlawful.

Update: AP is now reporting ICE will have a security role at the Winter Olympics in Rome.

“federal ICE agents would support diplomatic security details and would not run any immigration enforcement operations.”
