I don't think that the officer(s) that shot Mr. Pretti, nor the officer in charge, will be punished by the federal government. As happened after Rebecca Good's murder on Jan.7, Trump, Noem, and more higher-ups immediately passed judgment on the deceased--before all of the cell phone videos had been posted, let alone reviewed and analyzed. The DHS army is and will be protected and excused.
They act in violation of the US Constitution, as Larry wrote. Yes, warrant-less entry will make the dangerous and lethal situations worse.
Thank you for the dose of calm, informed reason. There is evidently a culture of impunity that has been manufactured by, among other things, the Supreme Court's ruling in Trump vs. United States (July 2024) that seems to give carte blanche to the Executive in the person of the President. Given the already-ambitious concept of Executive power informing Trump's presidency, it does not take much for the assumption of legal immunity to cascade down the hierarchy of Federal law enforcement and the military.
This will eventually come back to bite the administration in particular and government more generally, and will likely result in a backlash similar to what unfolded following Watergate and defeat in Vietnam. That it has not yet done so is tied to the active support (financial, military and ideological) by both Biden and Trump of carnage in Palestine, along with a neutered uniparty Congress and pliant, stenography-practising legacy media.
Until then, however, how many more must die due to the poorly administered, recklessly encouraged and adrenaline- and fear-fueled rampage that is being encouraged from the White House down? It is of a piece with the wanton slaughter of Venezuelan boat crews and passengers. All demonstrate a casual contempt - not even disregard - for human life, personified by Scott Bessent's preposterous, pompous performance at Davos, boasting about the purposefully harmful human impact of sanctions against Iran. That this is now coming home, rather than simply as usual being aimed outwards, will force a long overdue reckoning. Hopefully very soon.
Did it serve to infuriate those who recognize this as a purely inhumane tactic that was designed to infuriate unstable people enough to lash out and be labeled as a pawn who lacks patience for thoughtful reasoning, and can be controlled through their emotions, sidelined to wreak chaos and mayhem? Or am I reading too much into this?
INteresting piece. I suppose the killing of one guard and possible permanent maiming of the national Guard in D.C. 1 month ago has been forgotten. There is more going on in Minneapolis than "protests.'There have been reports of an extremely well organized group, including political leaders, following where ICE and federal agents go. (SIG) Investigative reporters, on the ground in this dangerous city,finding out this data. There also may be some foreign money involved.James O'Keefe of OMG has posted some interesting occurrences of his group. Looking at this issue from one point of view is like looking at Covid from a "mask or not mask" approach. That episode IMO was not just about a virus.Major issues for the well being of the country may well be occurring.At this point, Insurrection Act may be needed. Federal agents are being overwhelmed. I wonder whoever may be organizing this chaos have chosen to "color" to describe it.
Biden let in 11-million-plus illegals to help the Dems carry out a communist takeover of our country. So Trump had to put an armed force into the streets to deal with that horde. So a couple of arm-waving loonies got shot--maybe Soros will pay for their funerals--or maybe not.
I hear Border patrol has extra-constitutional powers within 100 miles of any international border. Sounds excessive but borders are always a problem. Then, I hear, that was somehow amended to include a 100 mile radius around any Usa international airport, which constitutes (or reconstitutes as the case may be) an extra-judicial police state. Gotta wonder how long they'll go on breaking their own local and foundational laws before most people decide there are no laws, only cops.
“If you’re going to protest, leave your damn gun at home.”
Please don’t give that kind of advice to a Veteran’s Hospital ICU nurse with a concealed carry permit whose gun is carried in a holster, concealed behind his back, a gun he never even touched during this incident. If you want to give that kind of advice, go on FOX news to contribute to their ‘crap’ interviews as you call them.
Was his gun loaded with one of the clips in the gun or was the gun unloaded with the clips outside the gun. No one talks about this.
You keep calling these ICE or border control agents “cops.” Have they had any of the training real police officers receive? I think probably not since a journalist actually was hired as ICE “cop” without even so much as a background check.
Homeland Security employees should never be allowed the carry a firearm with the special immunity given to trained police officers unless they are certified with the proper police training. Make them hire certified police officers or get the training and certification for the use of armed deadly force. Please make this part of your future comments.

More notes: Mr. Pretti was shot after his gun was removed. Also, a total of 10 shots were fired into Alex Pretti's body. The videos reviewed by DropSiteNews journalists recorded the shots: https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/customs-border-patrol-agent-kills-minneapolis-nurse-video-analysis?r=2vzf0g&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

My question is to you Larry is ICE really targeting immigrants or trying to cause chaos for people that the deep state oppose like llhan Omar?
