NATIONWIDE — We are horrified and heartbroken by the killing of Alex Pretti at the hands of Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis today. Pretti’s death comes less than three weeks after fellow U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good was shot dead by ICE in the same city. These unjustified killings remind us that no one is safe from the Trump regime’s racist, xenophobic, and anti-democratic rampage that’s terrorizing communities across the U.S.
The growing pattern of unchecked state violence, excessive force, and militarized enforcement reflects the Trump regime’s deeply disturbing disregard for human life. It’s stoking racism and xenophobia, tearing families apart, undermining our Constitutional freedoms, and making us all less safe.
As we mourn Alex Pretti, we remain in solidarity with protesters in Minnesota and beyond who are standing up for immigrants and our democracy. We also demand a full, independent, & transparent investigation – and swift action by lawmakers to rein in the federal government’s deadly abuse of power.
