The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Republicans need to take a stand. This is an assault on the Constitution.
1st Amendment: peaceful assembly.
2nd Amendment: Alex Pretti was a lawful gun owner.
4th Amendment: unreasonable search and seizure.
You can’t call yourself a defender of liberty if you won’t defend it when it counts.

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.
