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

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,

I congratulate Minnesota @AGEllison for securing a federal court order requiring DHS/ICE to preserve evidence and stop obstructing justice in the investigation of the killing of Alex Pretti. That a court had to intervene to ensure compliance with the law is a sad testament to how

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

The EEOC just quietly eliminated critical guidance that helped employers maintain harassment-free workplaces and safeguard employees on the job. In November, @BobbyScott warned the EEOC about the consequences of rescinding this guidance. https://t.co/8mVkTB1xfW

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

Big congratulations to @DemocracyFwd for championing students and civil rights. This ruling is a major win—schools and kids should not be at the whim of a Trump administration agenda that undermines diversity and free speech.
