Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

The 3,000 ICE and federal agents in Minnesota outnumber all 10 metro police departments combined. Local law enforcement leaders have made it clear that this surge is disrupting public safety, stretching resources, and making their jobs more difficult. ICE is making us less safe.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.
