Need to get a message to President Herzog when he’s honoured by our government: “Thank you for the ceasefire, Mr President. Please sign this empty shell casing.”

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

GRAPHIC: new video shows an ICE agent smashing Alex Pretti’s face with a metal object just before they shot him. The ICE killer should be tried for murder and Noem and Bovino should be fired. This violence against innocent people has to stop.

GRAPHIC: A new stabilised video has been released. First they shot him 4 times in the back. Then when he was laying on his back and totally defenceless, they shot him another 6 times. His crime was protecting a woman from ICE agents. His last words as he was protecting her were “are you okay?”

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Alex Pretti's parents found out about his death when the Associated Press called them. They then had to make phone calls until they reached the county medical examiner. So heartbreaking. coloradosun.com/2026/01/24/c...

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.
