Deportations to Add Almost $1 Trillion in Costs to the “Big Beautiful Bill” Properly considered, the actual cost of H.R. 1’s immigration enforcement spending is nearly $1 trillion more than the CBO estimates. When seen in the context of the overall costs of the bill, mass dep...

Deportations to Add Almost $1 Trillion in Costs to the “Big Beautiful Bill”
We are spending 175 billion dollars on ICE to brutalize communities and traumatize children for life.

This is being done in your name, with your tax dollars, on our watch. Don’t look away.

A Healer Is Dead: The Death of Alex Pretti I didn’t know you.

A Healer Is Dead — for Alex Pretti.

I just published a grief piece on care, community, and what happens when showing up becomes a liability in this country. #Pinks #Momsky

He’s updating live.

Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

Star Tribune: “Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s ‘stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.’”

Minnesota CEOs break silence on ICE surge, killings — The Minnesota Star Tribune More than 60 Minnesota executives penned a letter Sunday calling for an “immediate de-escalation” after the killing of Alex Pretti.

I’m glad these companies CEOs have finally broken their silence. We know the pressure the felon/rapist administration was placing on their companies. Their silence was deafening I hope they will now be LOUD and held accountable.

Republicans believed it when, without evidence, immigrants were eating peoples cats and dogs. But when evidence shows that ICE and CBP are systematically murdering protesters provocation, they refuse to believe what their own eyes are telling them.

1984 and The Handmaids Tale at the same time.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Stop calling it an immigration crackdown, it’s a violent retaliation against our own people by an unhinged president who has been exposed as the best friend of the biggest pedophile in the world

Screenshot of a post by journalist Andrew Solender quoting Rep. Bennie Thompson, the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, calling on the Senate to vote against funding for CBP and ICE and urging the House to immediately take steps to impeach Kristi Noem. Below the post is an image of an official press release titled “Ranking Member Thompson Statement on Yet Another U.S. Citizen Killed by ICE & CBP in Minneapolis,” dated January 26, 2026. The statement condemns the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis, accuses ICE, CBP, DHS, Donald Trump, and Kristi Noem of responsibility, calls for the release of body camera footage, demands ICE and CBP leave Minneapolis, urges public testimony from agency leaders, opposes further funding for CBP and ICE, and calls for Kristi Noem’s impeachment.

Rep. Bennie Thompson demands the Senate vote against CBP and ICE funding and for the House to immediately take up the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old.
He was a licensed nurse.
He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression.

And they executed him.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

From the minnesota community on Reddit: Another closer angle showing him trying to protect other protesters Explore this post and more from the minnesota community

In this video, it appears Alex Pretti is trying to protect another protester from being assaulted by federal agents when he is sprayed in the face with some kind of substance and then shot to death:

They are telling Americans that a VA nurse wanted to massacre ICE agents because he owned a gun. They don’t care if anyone believes it or not because nobody with real power is making an effort to stop them

I’m 💯 with you all. More letters, phone calls and action here in Virginia.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

Alex Jeffery Pretti.

WHO WILL PROTECT US FROM ICE?

Are they just allowed to murder people now? Is no one going to stop them? What the fuck is going on?

I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.

Hold everyone of them accountable for this travesty and inhumanity.

Glad the community continues to stand up for its fellow human beings/community members. This is all on the felon/rapist enablers in Congress, every single gop(er) and this administration.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Unbelievable. So they are suggesting stopping giving us, “ The People” polio vaccines. I’m sorry but I didn’t realize we had so many stupid people in America. The stupidity is staggering.

I absolutely agree with you … sometimes we need to say it out LOUD

What an idiot. I mean so the “price goes down” if we were certain clothes. What parallel universes does he live in. I’m with Red Lori 👇👇👇

This is community coming together to protect and help each other. Neighbors loving neighbors. F*ice
