Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement:
“Yesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer.
“Today, we demand accountability.
“In the immediate aftermath of Alex’s killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a “domestic terrorist.” Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America’s veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota.
“Our demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.
The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

It’s this administration abolition the only way to stop ICE madness. Not the other way around.

So true. Impeaching Bondi Noem etc will not solve the situation. They need to be prosecuted once check and balances are back. For that to happen Miller/Vance/Trump need to be the priority of the opposition strategy.

Wishful thinking. It’s going to get increasingly worse as they start replacing ICE with ECI and Bondi with Pondi. Whitewashing names to increase cruelty and control. Please come to your senses this gov is pure evil and has no shame doubling down every single time with more absurd lies and nonsense.

ICE, Bondi, Noem etc etc will be replaced by even worse people for as long as the same puppeteer is in charge.

Bondi et al are puppets and replaceable. Let’s start from the top instead. There will be time to deal with her and the others later.

The real deal. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison: “Be as safe as you can but there is no easy, safe way back to Democracy. There is no easy path. I wish I could come on your show and say “do this and everything will be perfectly fine!”… but we have people who are abusive and horrible”

🚨BREAKING: ICE MURDERS AGAIN in Minneapolis Amid Growing PROTESTS
BREAKING NEWS: ICE agents have shot and killed another person in Minneapolis. I was interviewing Minnesota AG @ag.state.mn.us when it happened and he explains why it has become an absolute necessity for the “invasion of the Twin Cities by federal agents” to come to a stop.

👇This bill is the one the House GOP passed with the 7 Dems.
Now we want Senate to stop it.
One thing we can do now:
Call your Senators 📞☎️📱(202) 224-3121
