Claiming that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Renee Good as she drove away from him was “fully justified,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warned Thursday that any action taken by Americans would be treated as domestic terrorism. “Make no mistake: Anything and everything Americans do, from the second they wake up to the second they fall asleep, will be treated as a national security threat and dealt with accordingly,” said Noem, who added that even seemingly trivial activities like picking up groceries, calling friends on the phone, or sneezing would warrant the use of lethal force by a federal agent.

In case you didn't already here, 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti was executed in Minneapolis today

The National and non-MN news have unfortunately not been fully covering how awful ICE has been in MN so I wanted to share some details for anyone who is not from or familiar with the Twin Cities, as someone in the Twin Cities who is decently connected with legal observers around the area:

Prior to being publicly executed, Alex Pretti was taking part in legally observing ICE and was assisting another legal observer who had fallen trying to distance themselves from ICE.

ICE has been viciously attacking legal observers. They are pepper spraying observers mere inches away from their eyes. They are using chemical weapons and carcinogenic gases. They are intentionally trying to take phones from people recording them.

Alex Pretti was killed at East 26th St and Nicollet Ave, almost right in front of a popular donut shop. This area of Nicollet Ave is lined with local restaurants and small businesses, many of whom have been struggling while ICE conducts an occupation of the Twin Cities and in particular had lost business by participating in the general strike yesterday. Therefore, Minnesotans wanted to go out in droves this weekend to make up for the lost income yesterday. This is all to say, ICE deciding to patrol and enact violence on this area of Minneapolis was vengeful and intentional. They were looking for protestors, observers, and people who are resisting ICE.

He was a registered nurse who worked for the VA. They executed him in the streets for trying to defend a woman they were pushing to the ground. They took his licensed gun before shooting him over 11 times and then claimed he approached them brandishing his gun when video evidence shows he was only recording them when they approached him.
