when will MAGA folks get tired of being LIED to by Trumps goons???
I would expect that they would be an open uproar over Kash talk about 2nd Amend rights!!
But seems they are still asleep!

Kash Patel just came out against the 2nd Amendment “You cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple.” Actually, in plenty of places in the U.S. you can. The director doesn’t know the law.

Aliya Rahman, a US citizen, is dragged from her car by federal agents after she was driving through a protest in Minneapolis on January 13. The Department of Homeland Security tweeted that she was arrested for obstruction after ignoring multiple commands to move her vehicle. Rahman told CNN she was confused by conflicting commands from officers and that she was just trying to go to a doctor's appointment. Mostafa Bassim/Anadolu/Getty Images

Video of Alex Pretti getting repeatedly hit by ICE ...........don't look if you do not want to see ICE violence....

Regardless of what object ICE were using--it is unnecessary violent force.
No doubt the Alex's parents have seen--or maybe they do not want to look at this.
---And Trump and his gang just want us all to forget it!!






NEW FOOTAGE OF ICE AGENT PISTOL WHIPPING ALEX PRETTI BEFORE SHOOTING HIM

That's not a pistol but a canister of tear gas, at least, that's what I think I saw. You can see in other footage that that agent was holding it and used it to spray and assault the women before jumping on Alex Pretti.

Trump DOJ RUSHES EMERGENCY FILING to STOP FATAL Report on Trump CRIMES



Jan 25, 2026 The Intersection with Michael Popok
Popok caught the "call and response" between Trump's current criminal defense lawyer and former DOJ official, and his DOJ to try to get their favorite Judge Cannon, to BLOCK the FUTURE DOJ (i.e. 2028) from releasing the Jack Smith Mar a Lago report to the public!

He was just protecting a woman.

I have watched this first short video several times
It is clear that Alex was no threat to ICE but they took him down and shot him anyway.

An ICE man was pushing another protester down into the snow and Alex was trying to help her, then ICE continued to pepper spray. Alex was down when I hear the gun shots.

Alex Pretti was NOT the aggressor in ANY way! short video.........
