Trump sends Tom Homan to Minnesota to manage ICE after Alex Pretti killing The killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, like the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer, was caught on video.

Does anyone think Tom Homan does not know and support what is happening in Minnesota?

Alex Pretti wasn’t a part of β€œengineered chaos.” He was a nurse who cared about people. An individual. What is β€œengineered chaos” is what this admin is doing in blue cities to justify invocation of the insurrection act.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Top Democrats decline to say if they would rein in ICE after Minnesota shooting Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries denounce the killing but offer no concrete pledges

I am SO tired of these two β€˜leadersβ€˜.

Call your Rep & Senators (202)224-3121 & DEMAND that they cut ICE spending! This should be a no brainer.

We CANNOT continue with this unchecked violence against US citizens and our immigrant population.

So in other words, foreign presidents can be held accountable for crimes in our country.

But our own presidents cannot.
