ICE

Independent journalist Georgia Fort was also arrested by federal agents earlier for reporting on the church protest in Minneapolis. She was live streaming when agents arrived to take her into custody.

 
You can agree with all of what he said, which I do mostly, but none of it in any way justifies that dude being shot to death. The officers are once again in the wrong here.
I agree. And he is correct of need for investigation.
I imagine MAGAs and far-left probably disagree with him.
 
BREAKING: U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has issued a statement clarifying that four people have been arrested by federal agents over a protest at a church in Minnesota. In addition to independent journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, Black Lives Matter Minnesota founder Trahern Crews has also been taken into custody by federal agents.

Pam Bondi calls this protest an ‘attack.’

Arresting political dissidents I see. Real democracy stuff going on there.
 
"He [Graham] refused to go along with the plan over a House-backed provision that would repeal a law allowing senators to receive cash payouts if they had phone records seized by former special counsel Jack Smith — the South Carolina Republican included."

So he's holding up the plan for purely personal (not even partisan political) monetary gain.
I am pretty underwhelmed by the "deal" as it stands.
 
Right, because nobody who practices holistic medicine is credible about things other than medicine.

Again didn't watch the video (maybe after work) so he might make some good points-IDK right now. But don't paint the guy as a voice of reason when next week he might go hang out with the my pillow guy at an anti vaccine rally.

He points out that Minnesota has a duty to retreat before using deadly force in self-defense and somehow twists that into an argument that saying he had a right to be at the protests and a right to carry his firearm is somehow factually true, but misleading given the circumstances.

Never mind the fact that he never used deadly force and was in no way the aggressor on the day he was shot.
 

Trump just condemned him as an Insurrectionist? Why are the going to Investigate now. They are already telling you their conclusion. Law and Order is Dead.


FBI takes over investigation of Minnesota shooting as Trump calls Alex Pretti an 'insurrectionist'​

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI is now leading the probe into the shooting of Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis resident killed Saturday by Border Patrol officers, the Department of Homeland Security said Friday.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem first disclosed the shift during a Fox News interview Thursday evening. Her department said earlier this week that Homeland Security Investigations, a unit within the department, would be heading the investigation.

Q: For transparency, would you commit to releasing the body cam video from federal officers involved in the Pretti shooting and their names?

BLANCHE: I'm not committing to anything

I thought ICE didn't wear body cameras. If they do and and they aren't releasing footage then that is very telling

Their lawyers have already confirmed they do

  • On January 26, federal lawyers confirmed to a judge that body-camera footage exists and has been preserved.




  • Status of Evidence: U.S. District Judge Eric Tostrud issued an emergency order to prevent federal agencies from destroying or altering this footage. While the government confirmed the footage is uploaded to CBP servers (where it is slated for long-term storage), they have not yet agreed to share it with Minnesota state investigators.




  • Conflict: Bystander video already in the public eye shows Pretti being tackled and shot in the back multiple times while holding a phone, which directly challenges initial administration reports that he was "brandishing" a gun.

Didn't see that. I did see a comment in this thread that said they hadn't purchased body cameras which would explain why the guy who killed Good was using his phone. If he was wearing a body cam then that footage should absolutely be released.
