John,
Over the weekend, ICE executed another civilian in the streets of Minneapolis.
This time, it was 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an intensive care nurse for veterans. He was pepper-sprayed, beaten, and shot ten times by ICE agents after filming them with his cell phone and trying to help a woman who agents violently shoved to the ground.
Once again, the Trump regime immediately lied and told a different story to try to justify this unnecessary, deadly use of force. Once again, video evidence from multiple angles revealed the truth and debunked their blatant lies.
Trump’s murderous secret police force is completely out of control, and DHS leadership like Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino have repeatedly proven that their word cannot be trusted.
In light of yet another state-sanctioned murder, we firmly agree with Minneapolis Rep. Ilhan Omar:
As we ramp up the pressure on Democratic Party leaders to do their jobs in Congress and stop ICE from killing more people and terrorizing our communities, if you’re able, please consider contributing to:
It’s up to us — everyday people in every part of the country — to come together and stand united against ICE and its fascist violence.
We’ll be in touch with more ways to take action soon. As Justice Democrats’ Rep. Delia Ramirez said, “We brought DHS into this world, and we WILL build a world without it.”
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
