Yesterday Alex Petti acted as a good samaritan going to assist a woman who was aggressively pushed to the ground by #ICE #BorderPatrol agents. He was accosted by 6 plus armed agents, forced to ground, had his legal #conceal carry firearm taken & then being held down executed with 9 to 10 shots.

Again, the question is who will enforce this federal Judge's ruling to preserve the evidence in the execution of Pretti. I certainly hope the State of Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension can investigate & hold #ICE #BorderPatrol murderers accountable. #ruleoflaw #Brownshirts #2ndAmendment

A federal District judge has ruled #ICE and #BorderPatrol are using #excessiveforce against protestors and in detaining alleged undocumented residents of #Minneapolis and #StPaul.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was a VA nurse, a neighbor and today acted as a good Samaritan. His final act of kindness to help a woman up resulted in ICE confronting him, throwing him to the ground, beating him, leaking his gun out of his holster and then executing him.

We are now at Lexington & Concord again as thousands of Minnesotans face off against an armed force sent by a tyrannical leader. The difference is Minnesotans are peacefully protesting & not shooting weapons. Unfortunately, they are cannon fodder against #ICE #Immigration #Tyranny #CivilWar #RaceWar

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

The Minnesotan shot today was exercising his #2ndAmendment rights to #ConcealedCarry. He never upholstered his gun before being attacked for being a #goodSamaritan to a woman who was violently shoved to the ground. He went to help her up and was attacked and shot in cold blood.

Minneapolis is under attack by an unregulated, ruthless militia. Minnesotans need protection from this armed force. Trump has launched a #RaceWar & is creating #Civilwar.

These 7 democrats voted to fund ICE this week, a failure of Democratic leadership. They are Reps. Cuellar (Texas), Golden (Maine), Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Gillen (N.Y.), Davis (N.C.), Suozzi (N.Y.) & Gonzalez (Texas). share.google/YmEk9aS6qd5C...
