Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche insisted the new video of Alex Pretti kicking an ICE vehicle will not change the way his death is being investigated. Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was shot and killed by federal agents last Saturday. At the time of the altercation, Pretti was legally carrying a handgun in his holster. When agents wrestled him to the ground, one of them appeared to remove the firearm from Pretti's holster. Moments later, at least one agent opened fire on the presumably-unarmed Pretti.

Sorry, Trump, your support is collapsing and you're panicking. Right on cue, you're deflecting from your failures with lies and conspiracy theories about me. Years of 'investigations' have found nothing,

The investigation is the latest twist in an escalating showdown between Minnesota officials and the administration of President Donald Trump over immigration raids in the state, including the operation where an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot dead Renee Good, a mother of three and a US citizen. Governor Walz confirmed the DOJ investigation in a statement on Tuesday, describing the move as political theatre.

That is one of those white evangelical churches that turn out to vote for Donald Trump 80%+ of that sect of Christianity. These are the Don't Tread on Me folks. These are the people who feel like America is for Americans and American only. These are white nationalists. And the DOJ got their panties in a wad because these protesters went straight to them and addressed their hypocrisy.

"Weaponizing the justice system and threatening political opponents is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic," Walz said in a statement.

The legislators released a video in November as US forces carried out air strikes on vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific, and as US President Donald Trump ordered the National Guard to deploy to major US cities to crack down on undocumented migrants and crime. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens, the lawmakers said in the video. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or Constitution, they said.

Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned on Tuesday after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) began investigating whether Becca Good, the widow of a queer woman killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent last week, had any criminal associations or ties to anti-government groups. The current presidential administration has repeatedly tried to portray Renee Good, the woman killed by an ICE agent, as a "domestic terrorist" who was part of a "sinister left-wing movement" that criminally sought to interfere with ICE's actions.

Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for money so she could buy braces to straighten her teeth. A federal judge in Florida unsealed the civil case documents in October following a request from the McClatchy newspaper chain, according to The New York Times.
