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.

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.
