    Because ICE is acting like armed thugs pursuing political goals, not a law enforcement agency. These men should be put on administrative leave until an independent investigation is concluded

    Question: *Lawmakers ask why the agent who shot and killed Alex Pretti is still on the job*

    Answer: Because the poorly trained (untrained?) ICE thugs aren’t held accountable to any standard either the law or simple human deceny.

    Because this is how “Mob Hierarchy” works, you give a piece of everything you do to the “boss”, and in return, no-one but the “boss” gets to punish you.

    Noem and company work to reinforce the message to their Brownshirts; “As long as you do what we say, you are safe” and in return, the thugs in ICE do their bidding.

    Because he did exactly what his higher ups wanted him to do. You know how some people deliberately make their dogs mean and reactive and laugh when their communities find that upsetting? That’s ICE. Agents are the poorly trained, under-socialized dogs and their leaders, all the way to the Oval Office, are the owners who like them like that.

  5. Are the lawmakers so clueless that they don’t realize ICE has become a far-right paramilitary group and is likely beyond their control at this point?

    Hey, you don’t bench your star quarterback when he’s so brilliantly following the game plan.

  7. How many of these people have committed violent acts outside of work? At work? Did anyone even check? I imagine these are the exact people they are looking for.

    The agent? There were at least 2 right? And there’s the one who disarmed him. It’s reasonable to believe the Sig discharged, but he should still be placed on leave amid investigation.

    The single most responsible agent is the one who initiated the arrest. Instead of taking Pretti’s attempt to deescalate and focus on securing Leinster after he pushed two women to the ground, he dragged him out to the street and beat him with a metal can to the face.

    And there’s the agent who after seeing Pretti motionless and bleeding on the ground clapped after the barrage of shots. He is no agent of peace and he cannot be trusted to maintain public trust. He is a liability to any policing agency

  9. The answer to this is probably no, but could Minnesota conceivably go after everyone for conspiracy to murder? Like clearly this is allowed to take place, so wouldn’t it be a criminal conspiracy to do so

    I have been wondering if they were, and assumed it was the case. Not surprised to have it confirmed and it is VERY telling of what the intent of this “Immigration Enforcement” really is.

    The other thing I think needs to be focussed on more by the news media is what the working definition of “Illegal Immigrant” is in this … operation.

    It is very clear that ICE, DHS, Border Patrol, and DOJ use a very different definition than the thinking public would … and not a remotely legal definition at that.

    Someone who has been adhering to the process of establishing residency and citizenship but hasn’t been able to complete it since it is a convoluted mess of our government’s making are NOT illegal.

    By all means deport (using a humane process) anyone who has committed serious crimes and violated the immigration process in a significant way beyond the sort of ticky-tacky things the process makes almost impossible to avoid, BUT that is NOT REMOTELY what is happening.

    The people are asking why the agents who participated in the killing of Alex Pretti aren’t in a goddamn jail awaiting arraignment.

  12. and the one that shot Renee Good, and their leader that ordered it, and the DHS Secretary that allows it, and the President that set this whole thing up.

  13. In NY, a police officer was put on administrative leave for shooting a raccoon. The poor animal was ‘only’ shot three times.

  14. I just read an article about a NY cop that was put on limited duty after shooting a raccoon. And then there is…this.

    Why is the name “Alex Pretti” in the headline but not the name of “the agent”?

    If his employment status is known, his name must also be.

    Because committing murder of assumed political enemies *is* his job. Can’t fire someone for doing their job.

  17. GoldenHourLXXII on

    Because he followed his training of targeting anyone who doesn’t want fascism.

    Period.

  18. I’d be legitimately surprised if he didn’t get a bonus. That seems to be the type of people we are dealing with.

    He’s still on the job because they aren’t investigating or doing anything by the book. It’s ok with them, he’s done what they want him to do. He’s going to get a bonus. That’s what they want another $10 billion for. They want us to pay the gestapo to murder and maim us.

    We’re not even aware of the scale of murders, rapes and disappearances of those in custody. God knows what they’re doing to the children.

  21. So he can shoot and kill other protestors. Duh. What else would Trump want from his fascist goons?

  22. Suicide_Necktie on

    So just like Jonathan Ross, the criminals are fleeing the state after commiting murders with support of the US government.

    Why is the pedophile rapist still the president?

    These questions will never be answered since we don’t know how the brains of Americans are supposed to work.
