ICE's No. 1 Ally

On Saturday, the same day that federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti on a Minneapolis street, the Justice Department sent a letter to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The letter did not have anything to say about the violence caused by the Department of Homeland Security's presence in the state. Nor did it offer Minnesota any assistance in the investigation of Pretti's death or that of Renee Good's just more than two weeks earlier.

It's so different from than what we have seen in so many previous administrations. Lies! All of it is just blatant, sickening lies,
