Woman shot and killed by ICE in Minnesota- potential legal action and outcome of investigation.

Walz has activated the National Guard. In case anyone wants to follow along.

Yes that is what I was reading.

Wow, another way they are going around the constitution. Using our own tax dollars to purchase our information.

I haven't heard about that yet. But i know that they are using Flock cameras to track people, even across state lines.

Nothing they are doing is legal.

Do the American posters know about the equipment ICE have purchase to see phone content.

Is that possible and legal?

I know there is a valid point about looking at both sides of an argument,
but to keep excusing Trump's criminal behaviour,
what is the point of that?

Someone who recognises the ICE Gestapo for what it is and taking action.

“What did we learn from the Holocaust? We have to act and we have to resist,” said Rabbi Diane Tracht, sharing her reason for going to Minneapolis. “If I’m not going to act and resist now, then I shouldn’t call myself a rabbi and I can’t be a proud Jew.”

Acting and resisting could lead to injury or death, this Rabbi isn’t thinking it through.
If she just means joining a protest on the sidelines that’s fair enough, but I still think that both lobbying local politicians and maybe a large march with placards through towns is the way to go.
And voting Democrat next time around.

Oreo, you are trying to distract that someone was murdered today . You persist in using tge term “ illegal “ to describe people who just want a life with a future which every human being deserves. Most of the people being deported have no criminal record . ICE is not targeting the baddies. They have quotas to meet and I am sure are financially rewarded to do so.

We are now in a conversation about Alex Perti who was murdered today protecting a woman who was being maced by ICE. I think many here are very upset today at what transpired In Minneapolis. Let’s respect that conversation.

Why is another view distraction? It’s on the same subject.
It’s considered illegal to enter another country secretly when you haven’t been given leave to stay and you live under the radar.
We complain here in the UK about boatloads of people crossing and want them to be properly assessed and if refused asylum then to be deported.
I’m not in any way confused and understand the reaction to any shooting from ICE.In this case it looks as if the man was armed so a different scenario to Renee Good.
If protesters to ICE mix it with them or interfere then violence will follow just as it does in the US if protesters decide to mix it with police.
The better way for citizens to protest is to lobby their own local politicians.

I have not talked to a US Citizen that opposed deportation.

What we oppose are peoples rights being violated by the Federal Government. That is why we are protesting.

Hope that clears up any confusion for you.

I think US citizens didn’t mind all the deportations when they happened nearer to the border with Mexico, it’s only when ICE went into the interior of the US and it happened in their own neighbourhoods that made them protest.
Obama deported 3 million.
ICE has increased its numbers and its funding to find evermore illegal migrants who have settled into towns and cities.
I’m not sure how they can go about detaining them without any show of force at all.
They can ask nicely of course, but if the migrants start screaming and yelling then a group of protesters intervenes and that’s when real violence can occur.
It’s not my country, so I guess you and others have to decide what you want immigration forces to do, only stick to the border area or target every town and city to detain them.
If local police actually policed any protests that would also help.

Alex was trying to protect a woman that ICE was assaulting with mace. They shoved him down and murdered him.
Trump and Bogino’ s version is a travesty. What so far has been written about Alex is that he was a truly decent person as opposed to Trump .

I am going to make this as clear as possible.

Under other Presidents, federal agents did not break into homes without a Judicial warrant. They did not break car windows and drag people out. They did not kill citizens. Those are all illegal and unconstitutional. There was nothing to protest.

You can both sides all you want, but I won't.

I have watched a few different videos.
It was clearly murder.
I did not see that Alex pulled out his gun at any moment.
I think I saw an agent pull out the gun from his waist band.
The agent had jeans on.
Trump is disgusting and we all need to to bear witness wherever we are.

So Alex had a gun on his person?

Far less violence? So there was some?
Hard to believe there was none. There wouldn’t be any of course if there weren’t protests or the protesters didn’t engage with ICE.
Why would US citizens not want illegal migrants to be detained.

I should clarify, under Obama and Biden, there was no need to protest because ICE was adhering to Constitutional laws.

The Trump team is the ones who decided to violate the Constitutional rights of every person in the United States.

ICE didn't target and kill the people protesting the Unconstitutional tactics of federal agents during Obama and Biden. Those 2 presidents were able to deport many more immigrants with far less violence.

So yes, this is a Trump issue.

I am in awe of the way the Minnesotan’s are acting together to help each other. From “watching” on the streets to providing hot drinks and opening their homes to let people come in to warm up and rest.

I just saw the video from the woman on the pink (not red) coat. The ICE agent pushed him down and then they jumped on his.

As Walz said “Thank God for videos “

The spin being put on by Trump and supporters is breathtaking

My goodness. This man who was shot wasn't observing. He was armed. He refused to back down. Stop looking at media that confirms your biased opinions.

Obama and Biden deported hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants using ICE. Man in charge of ICE was given an award by Obama for removing illegal aliens. This same chap is in charge now. Obama had the children in cages. Look on YouTube at Obama proudly announcing the success of ICE.

Why no protests then? Just try and enhance your knowledge.

TDS is alive and kicking. And rather embarrassing.

And no, Trump is not my type of politician, Id never vote for him
But this anti Trump hysteria is, quite simply, pathetic.

What do posters think of the fact that ICE was operating this way under Obama and Biden to remove hundreds and thousands of illegal migrants? And the fact that Obama gave an award to the man in charge of ICE.
Not everything is Trump related only.
It would be raging hypocrisy to condone what went before and yell about it only now.
My own take on it is that things are done very differently in the US to how they are here and we just have to let them get on with it.Not that we can do anything productive anyway to change things.
Police are armed and immigration are armed there and both genuine attacks on them and mistakes too will happen.

A still shot of the first ICE officer confronting him. You can easily see a phone in his hand.

Ok, I give up. I have no idea what is going on with my phone. I am not having a stroke just in case you were worried.

Plus one of imaround links reported Alex 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.

To renew your licence to practise as a nurse you need to demonstrate your nursing practice and knowledge is up to date and safe plus you are of good character, ie no criminal activity.
