Final day of #walkforpeace in D.C. today. #peace #joy
Touched by history: Grateful to participate in the final leg of #walkforpeace in D..C. today. #peace #joy
TAPPER: They're asking for voter roll information after the death of Alex Pretti. What was it like to see that letter?
SIMON: It was really deeply disturbing. Literally hours after the second killing of a citizen in Minneapolis by ICE agents, there's this ransom note
ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten...
#RIP_Alex 💔
Wow! Thanks to everyone who pitched in Alex Pretti’s GoFundMe it has surpassed $1.3 million. Huge thanks to Keith Edwards for organizing.
Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.
🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Oregon said Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recent letter to Minnesota reinforced unease about how the Justice Department is wielding its authority in its nationwide push for state voter rolls, suggesting the administration’s campaign may be driven by improper motives.
NEW: The Atlantic reports Greg Bovino has been REMOVED from his role as Border Patrol “Commander at Large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and “adviser” Corey Lewandowski are at risk of losing their jobs.
This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
If this doesn’t tug at your heart, make you well up with sadness, you are not human.
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
"DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately," CNN reports
Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.
I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

Ed Markey nails it. You can do two things right now:
1) Tell Congress to defund ICE here: https://bit.ly/45xxduq
2) Tell Congress to impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem here: https://bit.ly/3ZkypO4

I’m sorry for posting a screenshot from there, but he’s my senator, and this statement at least manages to be germane
Not one more cent for DHS and ICE. We have the power to end this.
Videos verified by The New York Times show the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday was holding a phone, not a gun, before the agents took him to the ground and shot him. At least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
New York Times states it plainly in display type: “Federal authorities said the slain man, Alex Pretti, had approached agents with a gun. But videos show Mr. Pretti was holding his phone, not a weapon, when they pulled him to the ground.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

Believe your eyes.
Multiple videos contradict Trump Administration’s lies about the killing of civilian Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
We’ve placed the available videos of the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis today into the same synchronised timeline and are continuing to analyse further.
ALEX JONES has become the person that wants you to trust the U.S. Government …. that’s how far Trump, Vance, Noem, Miller and company have eroded things.
Shooting Victim Identified as Second Video Angle Contradicts DHS Lies — The footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, said one journalist, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.”
Video recorded by witnesses to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis shows that he was holding a phone, not a gun, when he was tackled and shot, directly contradicting the claims of senior Trump administration officials www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Video Shows Agents Spraying Chemical Irritant At Alex Pretti Before Fatally Shooting Him
Worth noting that the @wsj.com has joined with the @nytimes.com and Bellingcat to say that ICE is lying in its description of the shooting of Alex Pretti. The video evidence more and more supports the view that this was a gratuitous execution. www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...
A CNN analysis of video appears to show a federal immigration officer removing a gun from Alex Pretti just prior to officers fatally shooting him. https://cnn.it/49HMH1u
