After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

We all just saw about six different angles of ICE murdering a guy who himself was filming them, but sure, you think body cameras will make all the difference.
How stupid do they think we are?

Republicans have blocked every proposal to rein in ICE, but they're happy to let Democrats spend your tax money to equip ICE mercenaries with body cameras. Why? Because they know body cams won't restrain ICE any more than they do cops:

Law enforcement out of unions. They are not workers. They are the tools of the elites against the working class.
What a stark, horrifying demonstration of the tension a union opens itself to when it organizes security forces.
If you hesitate to condemn the killing of a member, for fear of alienating the members who fired the guns, what sort of cage have you built around your union?

There have been over a dozen ICE shootings. We have to fight not just for Alex Pretti and Nicole Good, but also for Silverio Villegas González and Keith Porter, many other victims in the streets, dozens in detention centers and the millions who have been brutalized in detentions and deportations
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

NYT says ICE shot him in the back:
An “agent aims his own firearm at Mr. Pretti’s back and appears to fire one shot at close range… A third agent unholsters a weapon. Both agents appear to fire additional shots into Mr. Pretti as he lies motionless… At least 10 shots appear to have been fired…”

Update: Federal agents murdered ICU nurse Alex Pretti. That’s the name of the legal observer federal agents executed in Minneapolis today. He was a union member.

Our initial analysis is up.
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.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

On one side is a nurse and a poet dying while saying “Are you okay?” and “I'm not even mad at you dude"
And on the other side are armed officers of the state saying “Boo hoo” and “Fucking bitch.”
And they want you to believe the first side are the domestic terrorists.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
