DHS claimed "Medics provided immediate aid to Pretti." They lied. In truth, a physician entered a sworn affidavit that ICE blocked him from reaching Pretti, and when he finally got there ICE wasn't giving him CPR, but counting bullet holes.

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

Yes.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.
He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.
