When you throw away the rule of law, you open up all possibilities of out of control, indescriminate violence which leads to murder.

Even serial killers have a selection process for their victims but not ICE. ICE Goons have no selection process. It's whatever trips their trigger at the moment. They are worse than serial killers.

That's part of the terror pedo Trump and the GOP has imposed on the US. It's not bad enough to allow weapons of mass destruction to flow throughout America causing mass killings whenever a crazy has a bad day. It's not bad enough to encourage stochastic terrorism so lone wolf crazies can randomly murder their political opposition. Now, the GOP has goon squads in cities, they deem too liberal, to indescriminately murder anyone.

You could be next even if you voted for the pedo. Look at Charlie Kirk's murder.

Indescriminate murderers is what the GOP has created and let lose throughout the US. And if they murder the correct victim, pedo Trump will pardon them.

Stay safe everyone.

Republicans do not take an oath to the president , the oath is to the Constitution.

And there is a method in place to get rid of a President who is violating the Constitution.

Why are they so afraid of him?

Putin supplied him with dirt on every one of them. They don't want to be outed as closet gays or child rapists.

He's been sacrificed on the altar of Hate, here in THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
He died needlessly in a needless situation.
An arrest is due here, and Justice for Alex, and all our people.

... and also other family and friends that was close to Alex. I grieve with y'all, may his memory be a blessing to us.

Also I hope DHS gets sued. Let's start out at 10 billion dollars. Add on everyone complicit in this murder. From the top down. Let not their age, the colour of their skin, their mental aptitude or their position be an exclusion to their participation as defendants in such lawsuit. It obviously isn't a criminal lawsuit because that would be down to federal and state officials (and I sincerely hope the Minnesota State AG files suit on state charges) but the Pretti family and friends should file a civil lawsuit.
