This is the same playbook used earlier this month in the killing of Renée  Good, a devoted mother and U.S. citizen shot and killed by an ICE agent. Despite clear video evidence and eyewitness accounts, federal officials falsely labeled her a "domestic terrorist” and are

Alex Pretti was a U.S. citizen and ICU nurse with no criminal history beyond minor traffic infractions, known by colleagues and loved ones as kind, competent, and devoted to caring for veterans. To deny him dignity in death and misrepresent what happened is reprehensible. This

The 37-year-old nurse cared deeply about the veterans he cared for and the community he lived in, his family and relatives of his patients say.

Multiple independent video recordings contradict claims by the Trump administration that Mr. Pretti was armed and posed an imminent threat. Civilian footage shows him holding a phone and not brandishing a weapon in the moments before he was pepper-sprayed, wrestled to the ground,

A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

A judge ordered federal authorities not to destroy evidence from a fatal shooting by immigration agents. Videos directly contradict descriptions of the encounter by Trump administration officials.

Donald Trump and GOP extremists are trying to gaslight America. Trust your eyes. Not extremist lies. The video exposing the brutal slaying of VA nurse Alex Pretti speaks for itself.

Masked and lawless DHS agents have brutally killed another American citizen in Minneapolis. Donald Trump’s extremists have unleashed this carnage on the streets of America. They must all be held criminally accountable to the full extent of the law.

This latest incident underscores the urgent need for Congress to exercise robust oversight over federal immigration enforcement operations, including clear standards for use-of-force, training, and accountability mechanisms. All Americans deserve to know that constitutional

My thoughts are with the individual’s family, loved ones, and all those directly affected by this tragedy. Every life lost is a profound loss, and no community should be placed in a position of fear during law enforcement actions.

Americans have witnessed deeply troubling abuses of authority by ICE. Republicans failed to work with Democrats to hold ICE accountable so I'm voting NO on the FY26 DHS funding bill.   People are fed up with seeing their neighbors removed from their homes, cars, and jobs without
