Federal agents shot and killed a Minneapolis ICU nurse Saturday morning. By early afternoon, the White House had called him a terrorist. Within minutes, multiple videos surfaced that directly contradict the official account.

That contradiction is an enormous story unto itself.

On Jan. 24, federal law enforcement agents shot and killed Alex Pretti during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. In the hours that followed, the Trump administration moved aggressively to frame the killing as a narrowly averted attack on law enforcement.

It’s difficult to watch the footage above and see Pretti creating fear in the half dozen ICE agents surrounding him, or the nearly dozen shots fired at Pretti being defensive, yet that’s exactly what Kristi Noem claimed.

    An out of control state sponsored terrorist group that openly recruits white nationalist extremists publicly executed a man exercising his right to peacefully protest and film “law” enforcement. If they are doing this while a crowd and multiple cameras are on them then they are doing much worse behind closed doors. These are lawless terrorists and this is tyranny
