Immigration thugs' latest murder is worse than you think

Immigration thugs' latest murder is worse than you think - Dailykos

The man that Border Patrol murdered today in Minneapolis was filming immigration agents, as he’s allowed to do, and was killed for helping a woman being pepper-sprayed by the mad king’s private goon militia. 

His name is Alex Pretti, and he was a 37-year-old ICU nurse who previously worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs. You think it can’t get worse, and it does.  

Homeland Security shills claimed he had a gun. He did. He never drew it. He had a license for it. Video shows the immigration goons retrieved it. Then they executed him. 

And this is just the latest of a never-ending stream of outrages. Just another day in Trump’s America. 


correction: in Trump's FASCIST America. The America THEY envision.

Or has ICE already gotten rid of everything that might incriminate them?

pile-on and take it. Alex had the gun, apparently, in a holster, allowed to carry.

Some bathroom in Merde-a-Lardo?

I can almost guarantee that chain of custody rules are not being followed.

According to Heather Cox Richardson, Trump's hired killers of Alex Pretti are with the US Customs and Boarder Protection Agency. I read that CBP agents are usually seen at US/Canada or US/Mexico boarders and at airports, but they are also allowed to conduct operations within 100 miles of a coastline or boarder. Minneapolis is NOT in the allowed "zone". They are ALL operating outside the law and shouldn't even be there!

what he can get away with, as well as testing the patience of allies and Americans, alike.
