This family statement is absolutely devastating to read. First, it should never have had to be written. The ease with which Trump’s admin takes someone’s life, and in this case a citizen, is disgusting and wrong. 1/2

The Pretti family’s heartbreaking request to all of us: get the truth out about our son. Alex was an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA whose last act was to protect the woman next to him. We will not let this Administration spread lies.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

Federal agents cannot murder people in broad daylight and face zero consequences. I will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands. The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package before the Senate—Republicans must work with us to do that. I’ll keep fighting to rein in DHS and ICE.
- CH
The killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti show Trump's DHS culture is rotten to its core. Trump, Vance, Noem, & Miller have made these agents feel immune from the consequences of their actions. That must change. Everyone involved in these operations must be held accountable.

We can all see with our own eyes what ICE is doing to our neighbors. It’s time for the Senate to step up and do the right thing. Stop this violence.

We oppose the ICE funding bill. We call for a full and transparent investigation with state officials. And we call on our Republican colleagues to stand up. They know this is wrong.

Hoy, agentes federales ejecutaron a una persona en nuestras calles. Fue sin provocación, sin amenaza y con una violencia excesiva. Dispararon a un hombre que ya estaba en el suelo. No pararemos hasta que cambiemos totalmente el sistema que tenemos ahora.

I will vote NO on the funding bill for Trump’s ICE. They are killing Americans. Detaining children. Trampling our freedoms. We are losing our humanity. This is a defining moment for our nation. A moment for moral courage. We must stand together and say no.
- MK
A second American citizen has been killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis, and DHS is blocking any independent investigation. When will my Republican colleagues speak out against this chaos? This can’t continue.

Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.
- CS
Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE. I will vote no.
- CS
What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling—and unacceptable in any American city.
- AK
Our message is clear: ICE needs to get out of Minnesota.

President Trump, Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller are making our communities and all Americans less safe. Enough is enough.
- BL
Kristi Noem and Donald Trump’s ICE is out of control and terrorizing our communities. With multiple deadly shootings of American citizens by federal agents in Minnesota & no accountability, I will not support an appropriations bill that funds DHS without real oversight, transparency, & consequences.
- JR
I’ve seen the horrific video of another fatal ICE shooting. It’s clear that ICE agents are doing more harm than good in Minneapolis. Time for reforms. They aren’t effectively doing their jobs or keeping Americans safe – they are endangering people.

I will be voting against the Dept. of Homeland Security funding bill this week. Full statement in the thread below.

Public executions at the hands of the government should never happen in “the land of the free.” Not one more taxpayer dollar for Trump’s DHS, CBP or ICE.
- TS
He wasn't a domestic terrorist. A domestic terrorist was the Oklahoma City bomber. This was a VA nurse looking out for his neighbors.
- JH
ICE is out of control. Killing people, separating families, and terrorizing our communities. I’m a NO on the DHS funding bill.
- ES
As all Americans can see with their own eyes, ICE and those under their command are not acting as responsible law enforcement agencies. They are recklessly inciting violence at the whims of the President. And they must be reined in before there is more killing.
- ES
This is part of a continued, coordinated assault on our Constitutional rights — with specific focus on individuals and groups who disagree with this President. I will be voting against the Dept. of Homeland Security funding bill this week.
- ES
This is what President Trump meant when he said he wanted to go after “the enemy within.” At every opportunity, he’s escalated violence against the people of Minnesota. Now, two American citizens have been killed by their own government as part of this operation. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

For those asking where we go from here: Not voting to fund ICE is a great place for us to start.
- TB
ICE and DHS are out of control and making our communities less safe. I will not support funding for DHS without clear accountability and stronger controls over the agency. It is time for the Senate to do its job and rein in this lawlessness.

Minnesotans, and all Americans, have been made less safe by ICE's reckless and unlawful behavior. I refuse to support this current package of funding bills as federal agents shoot Americans in the street. My full statement:

I’m not voting to fund this lawless violence. Trump’s abuse of power is tearing us apart. We have 3 years left of this presidency. Either we stand up and protect our democracy now, or we risk going down a path that is unthinkable, will hurt countless people and do irreversible damage to our country.

State & local police & officials can be sued civilly, but not federal agents. Legal immunity encourages impunity. Our bill give victims a civil remedy—a needed day in court.
- RB
Now indisputably—after the latest ICE killing—the nation needs accountability through legal redress against federal agents who violate rights. I’ve joined with Sen. Padilla on a bill to provide a civil remedy to victims of lawbreaking by ICE & other federal officers.
- RB
Coverup in real time—if DHS investigates its own potential illegality. Congress must demand an independent investigation—immediately. A bipartisan call for justice—now.

President Trump has crossed the line. Americans will not stand for masked, armed troops roaming their neighborhoods. ICE is not trained in this capacity and should not be on streets. This incident should be investigated immediately and not politicized by the President.

Our government’s number 1 job is to keep people safe. I know that’s what the well-trained local law enforcement officers in NH & across the country work to do every day as they de-escalate situations & protect and serve our communities. The Trump Administration is failing to meet this basic standard
- MH
Instead, we’re seeing American citizens killed by masked federal agents, people denied basic due process, and enflamed tensions and division that are making our communities less safe.
- MH
We should be working together to reform our immigration system so that we have strong border security and are removing violent criminals. That’s not what is happening under this Administration.
- MH
What ICE is doing in Minnesota and on many streets across the country is unacceptable, unconscionable, and it has to stop.
- PW
Under Secretary Noem, ICE is no longer about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing communities. Noem must go. Congress must stop giving even more money to this agency on a rampage. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/njgfQY5siXI

DHS agents have summarily killed another person. This regime claims to be targeting ‘the worst of the worst,’ while they target people for exercising their constitutional right to free speech with lethal force. This lawlessness cannot be allowed to continue.

The real “domestic terrorists” are in the White House. The victim, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was reportedly a law abiding US citizen & an ICU nurse at the VA. He was licensed to carry a firearm. Trump & Miller are responsible for his killing & are now lying to the American people.

ICE’s Minneapolis operations are not protecting the residents of the city, but are instead causing chaos and fear. Immediately, there needs to be a full and impartial investigation by local police into this incident, as well as the tragic death of Renee Good.
- GP
Another person has been shot and killed by ICE officers in Minneapolis. The Trump Administration must turn the temperature down and stop this horrific violence.
- RD
Another tragic, fatal shooting by a federal immigration officer in Minnesota. This is heartbreaking and infuriating. My office is gathering information as we speak. But what we do know: ICE’s egregious, reckless behavior in our communities must come to an end. Now.
- MH
Another American killed by Donald Trump’s invasion force in Minneapolis. Shot 5 times AFTER being restrained. This is not the America I know, but I do know THIS… This invasion of an American city is only possible because Republicans are complicit and refuse to rein in this madness.
- RB
It’s contemptible & unconscionable. 3/
- MW
Trump’s endless empowerment of federal immigration agents has resulted in yet another senseless killing. This brutal crackdown has to end. I cannot and will not vote to fund DHS while this administration continues these violent federal takeovers of our cities.
- EM
I’ve been calling to stop DHS and ICE funding since Renee Good was murdered. Americans are watching in outrage while their neighbors are murdered on tv and cities get taken over. Senators have the power to do something about it. We need to stop funding DHS now.
