Third shooting. Second death. Minneapolis is becoming a killing field for federal agents operating with impunity.

Watch the video: A swarm of masked agents mob someone, push him to the ground, surround him, then shoot him multiple times. The shots continue as he lies motionless. Then ICE tries to order local police from the scene. The Minneapolis police chief refuses and preserves the crime scene.

This is exactly how Argentina’s Dirty War operated. Paramilitary forces. Masked agents. Extrajudicial killings. Attempts to control the investigation. Rising body count. The regime blaming victims and promising to escalate.

A White House official said the killing is “evidence that people need to allow lawful immigration enforcement to proceed unobstructed.” A senior administration official says the “chaos” strengthens the case for Trump sending in troops to “restore order.”

Read that again. They murder someone on camera, and their response is: this proves we need more force.

The parallels to Argentina’s dirty war are no longer theoretical. Secret detention centers where people die. Forced disappearances (detainees transferred, families can’t locate them). Paramilitary forces operating outside judicial oversight. Extrajudicial killings in the streets. Witnesses being deported or intimidated. The regime claiming chaos justifies more violence.

Argentina’s dictatorship disappeared 30,000 people over seven years. They started exactly like this: targeted killings of visible resisters to establish that certain people have no rights the state is bound to respect. The body count rises. The terror normalizes. The population learns to look away.

Minneapolis isn’t the aberration. It’s the model. ICE deployed to other Democratic cities will operate the same way. The killing will spread. The regime already told you: the chaos strengthens the case for troops.

This is state terror becoming operational in American cities. Not might become. Is. Right now. On camera.

And we watch it, ? in real time ? and its murder , clearly, no need for a judge.

WE SAW IT HAPPEN. Cut the bull sh*t. Trump is now a murderer, If not before.

Murderers have to be charged with that crime. No Iff's or But's .

We watched his men murder a man in cold blood . We heard Trump say " disrespectfull woemen should be shot " And he is the president ? , CMON something is wrong with the system for this to be able to happen. and he not be charged with murder.

It's a war people. Wars are where people get shot for no good reason at all.

Where no one is safe. Where soon there will be drone shooting. It's a war

Iran is sending aircraft carriers to the east coast of America and will attack America if they do not stop murdering innocent protesters. Haha!

Someone needs to save us, huh!!

Insane this whole thing.

This is absolutely crazy. Everyone has the right to bear arms, unless you’re carrying while protesting the government. Then they’ll murder you and use your second amendment right as proof you were a violent thug who deserved to be shot.

The hypocrisy is so glaring. The democrats that voted to continue funding the DHS need to be removed and never show their face in politics again. They are a disgrace to this country

ROSANNE SLOANE's avatar

Yes. The democrats are the cowards who voted for this while saying how horrified they are,

What possible reason did Jeffries NOT whip those senate Democrats into shape?

Well, no one will get shot in THEIR neighborhood and they have stock in Home Depot, Target, Hilton etc. Don't look to the 2% to save you. Party affiliation is irrelevant

Yes so true. I wasn’t saying what our “rights” are. Just the hypocrisy of the republicans demanding gun rights while killing those that carry them. All of our former rights only matter to those that bow to the dictator in chief and his cronies. Otherwise all of our lives are expendable.

ROSANNE SLOANE's avatar

Way past time to tell us our "rights" We don't have anymore now.

Time for Americans to rise up. The fascists will not stop until someone stops them. Every member of congress that supports ICE should be challenged and their political career should be over.

A nation of sheep will beget a Government of wolves.

We are ruled by criminals, thieves, & murderers. He started his ki!!ing spree in his 1st term. Nobody seemed to care. Know he's gone full blown fascist.

laurie miller's avatar

He might have started before that , With Epstein, filming 11 year old children having sex.

Then disposing of the homeless girls. To finish the film .

As spoken by an adult who was11 when he was made to perform for those guys,

He is now in the military. and was recognised by a platoon mate , as the 11 year old in the child porn that mate was caught with.

1. Any politician that votes to continue this is treasonous and needs to be removed from office and jailed.

2. Disband ICE, arrest them all - no due process, and the violent offenders are to be placed on death row for treason and murder.

3. The public needs to start carrying. These fat pos fucks will hide when confronted with someone willing to fire back.

ROSANNE SLOANE's avatar

How do you know they won't shoot first? How do you know they can aim a gun correctly and kill more bystanders. You want masses of bullets daily in the street? A GUN will not make IT bigger!!! It will kill. That is what guns do.

josephebacon's avatar

And those Gestapo thugs will get away with murder just like their pal Jonathan Ross did.

If we thought the war crimes in Iraq or Gaza wouldn't affect us… well, this is the result. The Zionist and Israel-backing governments don't care about us. We have to defend ourselves. A free Palestine means a free world.

Sources identify man shot as Alex Jeffrey Pretti of south Minneapolis

The man fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis this morning has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

Pretti, 37, has an address listed in south Minneapolis.

At a news conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the man who was shot was a 37-year-old white man with no serious criminal history and a record that showed only some parking tickets. Law enforcement sources said Saturday their records show Pretti had no serious criminal history.

O'Hara said the man was a “lawful gun owner” with a permit. Records show that Pretti attended the University of Minnesota. State records show Pretti was issued a nursing license in 2021, and it remains active through March 2026.

I guess if you go to University, follow the gun laws, you will be murders.

Cambodia. Anyone with glasses and an education was killed.

Tell me what is different. Remind me that we can't kill just LOOKING at someone, a member of any group at all. What's next? Bowling killings because some poor boy might get hit in the head with a boiling ball?????????????????????????????????

Richard's avatar

This is it people! Who's next? Anyone anywhere? Pull funding for all ICE immediately. The pathetic republicans who have given US this mess need to join with democrats and see if they can stop trump and Miller from killing any more American citizens. Dark days ahead until elected officials stop the madness. It may be too late already!

ROSANNE SLOANE's avatar

The Democrats just approved more funding Thursday. What now?

Richard's avatar

Stop it anyway you can, then hold on until mid-terms. If you can.

ROSANNE SLOANE's avatar

Exactly!!!!!!!!! And pray all this chaos doesn't bring insurrections where we will not be able to vote!!!!!!!!!! It's all we have left.

As I said in my blog post this week in www.crann-na-beatha.com, it won't be much longer before ICE soldiers start taking fire. Then we get to see them run like the cowards they are.

The downside, is that active duty troops will be deployed to Minneapolis to quell an insurrection that Trump has effectively started. This is why the first American colonists stood up to the British Redcoats back in 1775. It wasn't just the unjust taxes but the brutality of the soldiers forcibly quartering with the civilians, who had there food taken away from them by the troop commanders and so on.

This is a mirror image of those same grievances by the local populace across the country. Push is going to come to shove and people will start fighting back, despite all of the pleadings by the state and local governments. It's inevitable.

Gleann Donnchaidh's avatar

Thats what Trump wants, he wants to enact the insurrection act so he can cancel the middle terms. People have to keep their heads, its hard to innocent people killed for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They're only copying their terrorist mates in the IOF. The best thing Murican's can do is peaceful protest, more people will die yes, but Trump & his sycophants will all be in jail in a years time. When he heard Zelenskky say you cant have elections during a war his eyes lit up. Stay strong Murica, he can be taken out the right way....it just might take a bit longer

Ardrid's avatar

He doesn't need a reason. These lunatics are literally lying about everything to "justify" using the National Guard and ICE to occupy cities. At this point, the 2nd Amendment is the only option left for citizens to protect themselves from this gestapo.

ROSANNE SLOANE's avatar

You are absolutely right. Cancelling the mid terms is all he cares about. Look at how easy we, the entire government allowed this to happen. Vote? How? All three branches of this government are corrupt and powerless

ROSANNE SLOANE's avatar

They won't run. THey are backed by the active duty troops. Meanwhile more idiots who can't read or aim, will use someone firing a gun to wipe out a city. MOre fat will not work if you need to lose weight. More guns will not help if you need the military to back down

Terrance Ó Domhnaill's avatar

You're right. There will be some people with little more than the reptilian side of their brain that may look at this as a way to start something that gives them an adrenaline high.

Meanwhile, Americans are being given a choice, comply with ICE meekly and lose their civil rights or fight back with more peaceful protests and maybe more state wide labor shutdowns. Not that ICE gives a fig about labor strikes. Trump doesn't care either. People tend to lash out when put in near impossible situations. I don't think it will be much longer before we have protest marches like the ones in the late sixties and early seventies and a lot of people are going to be hurt or killed.

This could have been a reenactment of Nazi thugs beating up and killing a Jew on the streets of Berlin in 1933.

The most horrifying part of this video is the heartless nonchalance with which the murdering thugs walk away from the body with no concern whatsoever for seeing if the victim was still alive and needed medical assistance.

Today whatever remained of the souls of Republicans in Congress and on the Supreme Court was just claimed by Satan.

When MAGA people who call themselves "Christian" finally come before Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates they might well find to their dismay that they have failed the entrance exam.

ROSANNE SLOANE's avatar

This IS a reenactment of Nazi thugs. Same story, but? We know better

Stephen Miller is probably dancing and wetting his pants with glee. Vought included, the master ruling behind the curtain.

ROSANNE SLOANE's avatar

That is where all coward hide. Let's see Miller stroll down South Central LA.

He would wet his pants in fear, not glee

6 men holding one man down while he is being beat on the head. And then they shoot him.

Government sponsored murder.

DaveinNH's avatar

Regardless of what happened before the man was first shot and clearly incapacitated, the several shots after that point cannot be excused. And unless the guy was reaching for a weapon, there's no excuse for the initial shot(s).

ROSANNE SLOANE's avatar

There is no excuse at all. REaching, breathing, none. They did not speak a word. Just shot him. Is it now legal for the KKK to randomly hang men from trees now?

DaveinNH's avatar

Agreed, it sure does look like an assassination. I'm just making the point that everything after the victim was incapacitated was excessive force. As to what happened before incapacitation, from that single video, I don't have a clear view of whether the victim was reaching for a weapon. I'm withholding judgment on that until more evidence surfaces. Based on DHS's previous lies, I'm pretty sure that even if the victim was armed, he wasn't reaching for a weapon. But I can't see enough to make that judgment yet.

ROSANNE SLOANE's avatar

I am sorry but this is naive. Your mind won't figure this out. Evidence means nothing. What did the two year old girl in a pink jacket do to be detained.

The laws you are looking for need someone to ENFORCE theme. Otherwise?

THIS is what you get. Don't hold judgement. Use your eyes and don't look for a court or police to weight "evidence" We are naive. You live in a police state.
