"It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault."
"For weeks now, people across the country have been rightly outraged by the spectacle of masked ICE recruits and other federal agents acting with impunity and engaging in tactics that seem designed to intimidate, harass, provoke and endanger the residents of a major American city,"
"To make matters even worse, at every turn, the people in charge have lied to us, told us not to believe what we've seen with our own eyes, and pushed increasingly aggressive and antagonistic tactics, including impeding investigations by local authorities,"
Former presidents across party lines condemned a federal operation in Minneapolis that led to the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good and called for accountability. President Biden called the operation a betrayal of basic American values and demanded full, fair, transparent investigations. President Obama described Pretti's killing as heartbreaking, warned core national values are under assault, and criticized masked ICE recruits and federal agents for intimidating tactics. President Clinton called the situation unacceptable, accused officials of lying, and said investigations were impeded. The Trump administration initially characterized Pretti as "brandishing a weapon" and domestic terrorism, which video evidence disputes.
