It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

ICE is no longer a border patrol and customs agency.
It is Trumps political police force staffed with insurrectionists and acting way outside its legal and statutory bounds.
They are murdering peaceful protestors and lying to our faces.

They say “where’s the gun?” — After the shots
Because they don’t realize one of them had already taken it — before the shots

Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."
