“like every American, over the past few weeks, I have watched the videos of Americans being shoved and beaten and pepper-sprayed and shot and killed by Federal immigration agents. Over the weekend, Americans watched what happened to Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a U.S. citizen, an ICU nurse at the VA who took care of veterans. He was shot and killed by Federal agents for no good reason. His family lost someone they loved, and it all happened in the blink of an eye. Before that, it was Renee Good. Renee was a mother and a wife. She was shot and killed in her car, and her family will never see her again. Two Americans are dead at the hands of their government. That should demand the highest levels of accountability. It is that simple. Instead, this administration has lied to the American people. They have slandered these Americans as terrorists. They have told us not to believe what we see with our own eyes. They blamed Alex Pretti because he was in lawful possession of a firearm. They have tried to block the investigations into what happened. We also know that these are not isolated incidents. Just the other day, ICE conducted a series of workplace raids at a sports bar in Phoenix, places where families go to just have some wings and watch a game. The agents wore masks and tactical gear, and I watched a video of ICE officers doing a driveby, spraying a woman in the face who was just standing on the sidewalk. They sprayed her with mace.”
