“We had this discussion with him two weeks ago or so, you know, that go ahead and protest, but do not engage, do not do anything stupid, basically,” Michael Pretti told the AP. “And he said he knows that. He knew that.”

His dad still doesn't think the officer was justified, though. Which you conveniently leave out

Ok Mr Gristle, you’re up to 9 old ladies out of 150,000 arrests. That’s like .0006%. If ICE is targeting old ladies they suck at it.

He had a phone out, not a gun. I get that you are ok with him dying. Why are you daring me to do the same?

As for the old ladies, we've made progress. You've moved off of didn't happen to doesn't happen often

Well, you’re not an expert. Neither are your fake news sources.


As Redlich and Schoberg walked through bystander videos, the hosts described a sequence they said begins with pepper spray being deployed and escalates into a struggle.

“Alex tries to intervene and really he’s protecting this this lady that was down there,” Schoberg said. “That’s when Alex steps in and he tries to protect this lady.”

Schoberg said the encounter shifted when agents attempted to detain him: “They all go to the ground and that’s when the ICE agent spots the gun…One of them yells out, ‘Gun.’”

“And now put yourself in as a cop in a struggle with somebody and someone yells out gun,” Schoberg continued. “I mean, that’s not something you want to hear. Now you’re fighting with somebody on the ground who’s being resistive who’s armed with a gun.”


Schoberg also pushed back on commentary questioning the number of officers involved in the struggle, noting the difficulty of physically controlling a resisting subject.

“For anybody that hasn’t tried to control somebody’s hands, arms, a full-grown man who’s physically resisting you, it is challenging,” he said. “It’s also not as easy as you would think when a grown man is physically resisting you.”

According to Schoberg, once the firearm was seen, agents attempted to prevent it from being used. “One of them actually physically disarms him while he’s on the ground,” he said.

Warning against frame-by-frame conclusions
The hosts repeatedly criticized slow-motion or frame-by-frame analysis of the video, arguing it can distort how use-of-force decisions unfold in real time.

“Everybody’s breaking this down frame by frame in slow motion,” Schoberg said. “That’s not how this works in real life.”


He continued: “You don’t get to break everything down frame by frame as it’s happening. I mean, things are happening at the…split seconds.”

No I don’t. You can watch it all you want. I just posted an experts analysis. Pretti had no business interfering with ICE agents. Especially armed. In case you didn’t know, that gun has a history of involuntary discharge. Whatever. None of this should be happening. It’s the criminals running Minnesota that have blood on their hands. Waltz, Frey, Ellison and the police chief are mandated by Federal Law to detain illegals, and turn them over to ICE. They let them out into the community instead. ICE then has to go door to door hunting them down. Then Waltz and Frey drum up the riots. Making things that much harder. ICE isn’t equipped to handle situations like this. Trump has given Waltz every opportunity to cooperate before invoking the Insurrection ACT. It appears Waltz may have come to his senses and called Trump and offered cooperation. We’ll see. Waltz created this. Probably to distract from his crimes.

If he doesn’t, he leaves Trump no choice. He’ll invoke the Insurrection Act and send in the professionals;


Search Assist




About 1,500 active-duty Army paratroopers from the 11th Airborne Division in Alaska are on standby for possible deployment to Minnesota if President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act. These troops specialize in arctic operations and are prepared to assist in response to civil unrest related to immigration enforcement.

Seems you definitely need to watch again. They pulled the gun, you can hear a shot as you see the agent discharge Pretti's gun and then the other agent spooks and kills Pretti by shooting him in the back.

Watch it again. What do you see?

BREAKING: The Department of Homeland Security is examining whether an accidental discharge from Alex Pretti’s pistol, while it was in a Border Patrol agent’s hand, may have prompted the decision to open fire and kill him immediately.

regardless he should not have been shot multiple times in the back of the head while unarmed.

Pretti was a part of an Anti Ice organization. Not some innocent libtard do Gooder.

The deadly confrontation that ended with Border Patrol agents shooting an anti-ICE agitator in Minneapolis on Saturday was not a spontaneous clash, but the result of a tightly organized far-left mobilization designed to interfere with federal law enforcement, a Fox News Digital investigation found.

Encrypted chats, street alerts and a sophisticated database tracking ICE vehicles show that activists were already gathering outside a donut shop on Nicollet Avenue minutes before any shots were fired. The agents were there to arrest a criminal illegal immigrant. Protesters, including 37-year-old Alex Pretti, were there to confront them.

Within hours of the shooting, a national network of socialist, communist and Marxist-Leninist organizations transformed the fatal encounter into a coordinated protest campaign stretching from Minneapolis to New York City and Los Angeles.

While grief over Pretti’s death was real, the speed and discipline of the response exposed an operation built to exploit tragedy, using viral clips, slogans and emojis to fuel confrontation with authorities.

This level of engineered chaos is unique to Minneapolis. It is the direct consequence of far left agitators, working with local authorities,” Vice President JD Vance wrote Sunday on X. Signal messages reviewed by Fox News Digital show anti-ICE “rapid responders” actively tracking and broadcasting the movements of federal agents outside Glam Doll Donuts before the shooting. At least 26 entries were logged in a shared database called “MN ICE Plates” in the hours surrounding the incident.

One entry labeled the location “at the nicollet murder,” while others tracked specific vehicles seen near the scene, including a maroon Dodge Durango and a black Ford Taurus.

At 9:50 a.m. ET, just minutes before the shooting, a Signal user posted a video showing agents near the donut shop. Another alert followed three minutes later calling for backup at a nearby parking lot.

ICE Assistant Director Marcos Charles later said the violence was “not a coincidence,” citing the chaos surrounding enforcement operations. Customs and Border Protection Commander Greg Bovino confirmed that Pretti had been on scene for several minutes before the fatal encounter.

Video footage shows Pretti stepping into traffic and fellow activists blowing whistles to warn of ICE presence. Moments later, he struggled with agents across the street from the donut shop. At about 10:05 a.m. ET, a CBP agent opened fire after officers yelled “gun,” killing Pretti.

By 10:18 a.m. ET, the Signal network erupted with urgent alerts calling for observers, medics and reinforcements. Supplies including masks, bottled water and winter hats appeared on sidewalks within minutes.

The Minneapolis activation mirrored past far-left mobilizations, including unrest following the death of George Floyd in 2020. Activists framed Pretti, an ICU nurse at a Veterans Administration hospital, as a symbol of resistance, similar to earlier ICE-related fatalities in the city.

Throughout the weekend, activists used inflammatory language comparing federal agents to Nazis and calling ICE an occupying force. Some posts falsely claimed Pretti was shot in the back multiple times.

By Sunday night, Signal alerts continued tracking suspected ICE vehicles around Minneapolis, feeding data into a public database containing thousands of entries labeled “Confirmed ICE” or “Abductors.”

Despite disclaimers claiming the data was not meant to interfere with law enforcement, DHS officials say the tracking has fueled direct confrontations.

From DC Draino; I find it very interesting that Tim Walz called President Trump to work with him on ICE less than 24 hours after all the 5,000+ donors to the anti-ICE domestic terror network were indexed and exposed by Data Republican.

I have a feeling a few of those big donors called Walz and said cut a deal with Trump ASAP to protect them.

Spreadsheet has been updated with 5,000 additional donations.

This should be obvious, but here goes: the hedging language is there for a reason.

The interesting rows are the ones where the primary_role (Column E) is not blank. I populated only the ones that could be plausibly traced back to a politician or activist.

SIGNAL GATE CONFIRMED: MN LT. GOV. PEGGY FLANAGAN (“FLAN SOUTHSIDE”) PANICS IN LEAKED MESSAGES— “WE’RE ALL F**”��

Fresh screenshots drop the hammer:

**Skye to “Betty” (undercover):**
“Why would we be in trouble... relax.”

**Response (panic mode):**
**“SIGNAL IS NOT SECURE. I worked in communications. Once they figured out where we were, it's only a matter of time. Flan has been exposed. We're all fucked. I need to leave this state.”**

**Reply:**
“Should I leave too? Maybe best to get out of country.”

This is **straight from the chat** where “Flan Southside” (allegedly **Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan**) was an **ADMIN** coordinating anti-ICE ops—tracking agents, doxxing, mobilizing crowds that turned deadly.

Result?
- Multiple deaths
- Man’s finger gnawed off
- Countless injuries
- Insurrection-level obstruction of federal law enforcement

**This isn’t protest. This is TREASON.**

State government **directly linked** to domestic terrorists conspiring against ICE. Blood is on **Flanagan’s** hands—and Tim Walz’s admin.

No more letters. No more “investigations.”

**Peggy Flanagan: RESIGN or NAME NAMES.**

**Prison for “Flan Southside.”** Lock her up for conspiracy, obstruction, and enabling violence against federal officers.

Who else in MN Dem machine is tangled in this? Deleted pages? Running?

**America demands answers NOW.**
