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.

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

Not trying to convince you of anything. Ok, asylum seekers (many came in illegally - some heard of asylum loophole and filed) from what wars, genocide, famine, or economics? If economic not a valid asylum justification, because people from all developing countries would be eligible. There has to be some valid justification, or this country will become a land of chaos and go bankrupt caring for the citizens of other countries. It’s not a tenable and will be to the detriment of Americans. What i proposed with respect to skilled workers (HB1 Visa) will include their families. The visa requiring employer sponsorship and housing, medical, and transportation not extended to family is for unskilled workers. They cannot bring family, because their salary is not enough to provide for housing, schooling, etc…. This system works in many parts of the world and enables workers to support their families in home country. Oh, by the way American and western policies have adversely affected many countries worldwide. From slavery, colonialism, imperialism, genocide, manufacturing wars. Between 500K-700K (75% women and children) true Semites murdered with the assistance of America by non-Semitic Jews desiring to steal the land and culture of true Semites. Did I mention Sudan, the Rohingyas, opium wars in Asia, genocide in Iraq, destabilized Syria, Lybia, Lebanon, and preparing to attack Iran again. What about the crippling economic sanctions levied against these countries, because America wants to keep them weak, so a converted people to Judaism can thrive and control indigenous Semites. In my book people from these countries are what the asylum program was established to aid. Not, just people suffering because they’re not value by the elites of their society, or because of communism and socialism. Crazy to see, latins/hispanics now realizing that they are not white and subject to the same treatment the people they look down upon (blacks). Hell, thinking their white caused many Latinos to vote for Trump. Hopefully, they have woken up.

What do you think Iran was to killing Protesters? It was these guys re-branded by Foreign intelligence agencies killing protesters. Just like here, they blame the this guy did not co-operate with ICE and crimes soon tell us he was a domestic terrorist. Same playbook.

Hannibal Barca's avatar

The situation in Iran was different. Iranian people were protesting economic difficulties resulting from the devaluation of their currency, which was caused by U.S. sanctions. During which, by their own admission, American and non-Semitic Jewish Israhell sponsored operatives infiltrated protest with weapons attacking LE and ambulance. All to destabilize and then attack it. Color revolution. Our protest is totally organic with no outside influence. Dems and republicans are to blame. Dems for porous border, non-enforcement of immigration laws, opening the borders, and catch and release policy. Republicans for releasing untrained gestapo like goons to target illegals by profiling and brutalizing Americans who protest against those tactics, and not holding accountable for their criminal conduct. I would target the businesses that hire illegals with heavy fines, no access to schools, no birth-right citizenship for children of two illegals, and housing. This would force many to self-deport while continuing to identify and deport this refusing to self-deport.

The immigrants aren’t the problem, why punish the children? There was a bi-partisan immigration plan and Trump tanked it because he thought it would hurts his chances of getting elected. Most of the immigrants they are targeting are here legally, going through the process. They’ve been working, paying taxes and supporting our economy. They contribute to our country, certainly more than any billionaire oligarch does. I’d take a Somali asylum seeker over 10 F*Elon Musks any day. People like F*Elon suckle off the teat of the American tax payer. He’s an immigrant himself, as is Peter Thiel, another welfare queen. And don’t forget Alex Karp, born here but still a grifter by trade and largely successful due to government contracts paid for by American taxpayers. We don’t have an immigrant problem, that’s just bs regime propaganda. What we have is a problem with billionaires gaming the system to take more than they give at the expense of the rest of us.

Hannibal Barca's avatar

What I suggested is way to avoid hunting people down and brutalizing them for immigration violations. As well, to organically reduce protest due to those actions. Create an environment making it extremely difficult to live as an undocumented person. Heavy fines for employers hiring illegals, heavy fines to landlords leasing to illegals, no access to schools w/o establishing immigration status, and no birth-right citizenship to children whose parents are undocumented. I’ve visited and lived in many countries. Most countries will not allow anyone to register children for school w/o proper documentation. With these measures, most illegals will self deport. I would also ask all Americans to carry real ID on their person. With these measures these gestapo tactics will not be necessary. Hence, mitigating the number of protest. I would also open one week a month for people to travel outside the U.S. no questions asked. Remove the benefits and people will leave and go somewhere else.

Mehdididit's avatar

I understood your premise, I just don’t agree with it. I think immigrants enhance our country. I’m descended from immigrants. With the exception of indigenous people, everyone of us is an immigrant. It’s just a question of which generation immigrated. I want us to make it easier for immigrants to live here safely, they are the very essence of America.

I also don’t buy into the propaganda that protests are bad. They are as American as apple pie. Have you studied our history? That which has made this country good has been born of protest.

What needs to go away from my perspective is State sponsored terrorists shooting citizens in the street.

I’m firmly in the camp that says DHS needs to be abolished. The Patriot Act never should have passed and should be rescinded. I remember what this country was like before DHS and The Patriot Act, it hasn’t been improved by them, quite the opposite. Laws passed out of fear and bigotry never age well.

Hannibal Barca's avatar

America is a country of immigrants. However, illegal immigration is what I’m against. Also, should not the country of their origin bear a responsibility and love for their children. I don’t agree with the savage tactics of ICE, but notice that the whole country is up in arms for the murder of two white Americans. If not for that, Americans remained silent on the tactics of ICE in the removal of illegals. I’m for controlled immigration and giving people a chance to escape wars, famine, etc…. The immigration problem in America is the overwhelming of one group of people escaping poverty, corruption, and failed states in Latin American countries. Latin America doesn’t have an ongoing genocide and real wars with bombs. However, those truly deserving can’t come due to one group overwhelming the system and spoiling for those truly needing a safe haven from war, genocide, and famine. America needs immigration for skilled people and to help those escaping wars, genocide, and famine. Not just those looking to escape the incompetence of their country. I think work visas should be option. One year visas under the auspices of an employer. That employer provides housing etc… no children or family members allowed to enter unless person is highly paid skill worker. The person must leave every year on vacation for 30 days, and secure employer visa to re-enter for another year. That’s humane.

I was trying to point out innocent protester getting killed by unlawful enforcement, but thanks for the refresh for my memory. I have been and lived those places, so I know.

It's not just the democratic government fault, most of the problems comes from Republicans. Also disagree once the people here legally or forced to migrate, you can't call them illegal because they are asylum seekers.

Example you go sanction all the South America, what do you think people go? US busllshit reason to invade Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Panama, Venezuela, now Cuba and Iran, making people economic slaves.

You can't just fish with the barrel and annoyed with the splashes. Then use same narrative I am American I am legal because my grandparent came from Europe and killed all the natives I am legal in this county.

Go meditate. I really don’t know what you’re responding. Reading comprehension is so important.

KTD's avatar

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.

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.

Wayne Campbell's avatar

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.

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.

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!

The Democrats just approved more funding Thursday. What now?

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

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.

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.
