I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Send Kristi Noem to The Hague.
Right now Kristi Noem is giving a presser saying Alex Pretti was a domestic terrorist. Her & the Trump administration needs to face charges of crimes against humanity in The Hague. Democrats, it's time we join the ICC & get that shit done once you control Congress.

Kristi Noem just said Alex Pretti showed up looking to commit murder. Yet again she's viciously smearing an innocent person and lying to pretend he's a terrorist after he was viciously gunned down by Gestapo thugs. These people are irredeemable criminals and they need to be locked up.

Minneapolis, Minnesota -
All options have to be on the table at this point. What happened today with the murder of Alex Pretti, an innocent RN nurse at the VA, is far over the red line.
🔸Arrest ICE agents immediately on state charges
🔸Mobilize for protection of people & their communities

His name was Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old.
He was a nurse who was filming ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression.
And they executed him in the street, in front of witnesses.

Trumpers are attempting to systematically nullify the authority of Minnesota law enforcement agencies. That is a blatant violation of the Constitution, and specifically of the 10th Amendment.
The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."
Live: Man shot and killed by federal agents in south Minneapolis this morning, police chief says
A video appears to shows federal agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him.
